The hôtel is in the Louis XIII style in brick and stone, with a large main lodge and two pavilions behind it, built between 1633 and 1634 for the Treasurer of France for the generality of Picardy. In 1790 that office was suppressed and the hôtel sold off to become a private house. It was rebuilt in the 19th century under the Second French Empire by the marquis de Landreville to designs by the architect Antoine - the frères Duthoit also redecorated its interior. In 1966 it became a museum.
The collection contains a 1612 harpsichord by Rückers junior. - Permalink:
