Шаблон:Infobox building The Hôtel de Breteuil is a historic building in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.
History
The hôtel particulier was built for Henri Le Tonnelier de Breteuil and his second wife.[1] It was designed by architect Ernest Sanson, and its construction was completed in 1892.[2]
During the Christmastime of 1858, the hotel hosted a chess match between the American master Paul Morphy and Adolf Anderssen, part of Morphy's tour of Tour of Europe. Morphy won the match handily, and Anderssen thrice employed an unusual opening—with mixed results—which came to bear his name.[3]
After the death of the Marquis de Breteuil in 1916, the hotel was sold in 1919 to the Saint family, before becoming the residence of the Princess of Faucigny-Lucinge in 1937.[4] During the Second World War, under the Occupation, the hotel housed the headquarters of the State Secretariat directed by Fernand de Brinon.
The building was acquired by the Irish State for Шаблон:Currency[5] in Шаблон:Date.[6] It has since been the home for the Irish Embassy in France.
