Hôtel de Lamballe, Diplomatic residence in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Hôtel de Lamballe stands on rue d'Ankara with a 40-meter classical facade, terraces, and gardens that once extended to the Seine River.

Built in the 17th century, this mansion belonged to Princess de Lamballe, confidante of Marie Antoinette, before her death during the French Revolution in 1792.

During the 19th century, the mansion operated as a psychiatric clinic where writers Gerard de Nerval and Guy de Maupassant received medical care.

The property functions as the Turkish Embassy in France, with its main entrance at 16 Avenue de Lamballe and a secondary access at 17 rue d'Ankara.

Count de Limur reconstructed the entire building in the 1920s, preserving only the original garden rock staircase from its initial construction.
