It was during a survey carried out before the building was transformed into a Maison de la Musique et de la Danse in the spring of 2004 that the painted beams of the Maison dite de Richelieu appeared. Under the plaster was found a "French" ceiling dating from the first decades of the 17th century, when the house was built. This exceptional discovery in the vicinity of Paris led to the classification of the joists, but also of the roof and the facades. This house, baptized in the Chronicles of the eighteenth century, "House of Oblivion", would have been built thanks to the Cardinal of Richelieu, who would have used it for "low works"...

4 rue Étienne-Dolet 92220 Bagneux

Hauts-de-Seine
Île-de-France

It was during a survey carried out before the work related to the transformation of the house into a conservatory, in the spring of 2004, that the painted beams of the Maison dite de Richelieu appeared. One discovers, under the plaster, a ceiling "in the French style" dating from the first decades of the seventeenth century, date of construction of the house. This exceptional discovery in the vicinity of Paris resulted in the classification of the joists, but also of the roof and facades. This house, baptized in the Chroniques of the eighteenth century, "Maison des oubliettes", would have been built thanks to the money of the Cardinal de Richelieu, who would have used it for "low works"...
