Building of the Savings Bank of Fontainebleau, 19th century financial building in Center district, Fontainebleau, France.
The Savings Bank of Fontainebleau is a structure with three floors above ground and one basement level, distinguished by its classical French facade featuring fifteen windows. The building was designed by architect Octave Courtois-Suffit and remains a notable part of the town's built environment.
The structure was built following an architecture competition held in 1891 and opened on October 16, 1893. It reflects the importance of banking institutions during the late 1800s for the town's economic growth and modernization.
The building housed Galerie 17 Arts from 2011 to 2019, showcasing works by regional artists and serving as a cultural gathering point for the local art community.
The building is located on Rue Paul-Séramy in the town center and is easily accessible when exploring Fontainebleau's historic district. Since it remains an active banking facility, visitors should note that it operates during standard banking hours.
Two cornucopias ornament the exterior of this preserved banking structure, symbolizing prosperity in French architectural tradition. This decorative element subtly captures the economic optimism that characterized the era when the building opened.
