A tour through the centuries at the headquarters of the architecture agency Pierre-Louis Carlier in the Hôtel de Tenremonde.

The Hôtel de Tenremonde is an old hôtel particulier located in Lille. It features facades and roofs on a courtyard and a street wall with a gate featuring a carved tympan, which was inscribed as a historical monument in September 1990.

Erected at the end of the 17th century by Louis François de Tenremonde, the hotel was remodeled at the end of the 18th century in a classical French style. It was converted into a post office in the 19th century and later hosted a domestic school.

Today, the building serves as the headquarters for the Pierre-Louis Carlier architecture agency. Its main building dates back to the end of the 17th century, while the street wall and its gate, which features a carved basket of flowers, are typical of the French style of the following century.
