Hôtel de La Mamye
The Hôtel de La Mamye in Toulouse, France, is a Renaissance hôtel particulier (palace) of the 16th century.
History
It was built from 1540 for N. de La Mamye and redesigned throughout the 16th century for its descendants, the councilor to the Parliament Guillaume de La Mamye, then Pierre de La Mamye.
The most interesting parts of the hotel are visible in the inner courtyard. On the north side, a high wall, probably from N. de La Mamye, and therefore from the second quarter of the 17th century, is crowned with false machicolations and flanked by gargoyles.
The building is organized around a courtyard and a garden. The elevations are of brick, the stone is reserved for the frames of the bays, except for the south elevation of the court entirely in stone.
