A hotel that bears witness to the Rue de Verdun's rich commercial past, featuring 3 wings with staircases and reception rooms.
The city of Carcassonne is full of many special bourgeois hotels, bearing witness to its rich commercial past, especially around Rue de Verdun. Location of the current city hall, Rue Aimé-Ramond, Hôtel de Rolland is a wonderful building of the 18th century. We owe it to Jean-François Cavailhès (1720-1784), a rich merchant who entrusted the work to the architect Rollin under the leadership of the architect Chevalier. The building is built at the location of the 4 houses and 3 stables repurchased from 1746 and destroyed by Jean-François Cavailhès. The construction of its mansion began around 1751. It cost him £172,000 and occupied him for about ten years. The architecture of Hôtel de Rolland consists of 3 wings overlooking a courtyard that is opening onto a narrow street in the north. On the Rue Aimé-Ramond side, the entrance gate sets the tones of the style of the work with carved decors and large openings. Inside, two sumptuous stairs placed in each of the two wings allow access to the upper floors. The reception rooms, when it comes to them, have high ceilings and give more charm to this bourgeois hotel. Owned by the town hall since 1978, this hotel is kept in good condition and worth a visit for a glimpse of the greatness of these 18th-century mansions.
