    The Hôtel Stanislas (also Palais Stanislas) is a monument in Wissembourg. The main building was built in 1722 and served as the residence of Stanislaus I Leszczyński in his first exile. google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjDnq2k_oL3AhUSRfEDHRmBDHsQFnoECAYQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fde.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FH%25C3% 25B4tel_Stanislas&usg=AOvVaw2YNvkMgCbYY8awLGiPsS6e

      A royal asylum seeker
      Stanislas Leszczynski, the expelled king of Poland
      On the Rue Stanislas, an outstanding building catches the eye. It is the Stanislas Hospital, which has a remarkable historical past. It stands on the place where the courtyard of the Stürzelbronn Abbey once stood, which was destroyed along with three quarters of the town in 1677. Herr Jäger, the manager of the commandery of the Teutonic Order, acquired the farm, which he rebuilt from the ruins in the Louis Quatorze style, only to later cede it to his son-in-law, Herr De Weber.
      Stanislas Leszczynski was from Zweibrücken, where he ruled the duchy for several years as duc par délégation, as a duke on behalf of King Charles XII. had reigned, came to Wissembourg, where the noble De Weber family put the newly built manorial estate at his disposal. Stanislas resided here (from 1719 to 1725) in very modest circumstances and gave the small town a touch of great European history.
      Stanislas (1677 - 1766) was very educated and humanely courteous. He spoke several languages. He got along well with the citizens of Weißenburg. He spoke German with them and Latin with the canons. Apart from that he was fluent in Polish, French and Swedish.

        Maria Leszczynska becomes Queen of France (in the shadow of Madame de Pompadour)
        Stanislaus initially tried in vain to marry his marriageable daughter. Then in April 1725 the marriage proposal from the royal court in Paris came as an unexpected, very big surprise.
        King Louis XV, a great-grandson King Louis XIV had already ascended the throne, but was only 15 years old. He married 22-year-old Maria, 7 years his senior.
