Building of the Savings Bank of Troyes

The Savings Bank of Troyes is a bank building located in Troyes, France. Its limestone facade displays four female sculptured figures on the upper floor and the city coat of arms in the central pediment above the entrance.

The building was constructed in 1893 following an architectural competition for the savings institution that had been established in 1821 under Louis XVIII. This construction marked an important moment in the banking development of Troyes during the late 19th century.

Architect Henri Schmit, known for Monte Carlo Casino, designed this banking structure that reflects the architectural style of the 19th century.

The building is located at 28 Boulevard Gambetta and continues to function as a branch of Caisse d'Epargne bank. It remains accessible from the street level, allowing visitors to view its architectural features from outside without entering the working bank.

The building was designed by Henri Schmit, the same architect who created the Monte Carlo Casino, placing this bank among significant public structures of its era. This connection to a celebrated architect makes it a remarkable example of late 19th-century French design applied to everyday banking.
