Centre mondial de la paix, Peace education center in Verdun, France
The Centre mondial de la paix occupies the former Episcopal Palace, featuring a horseshoe-shaped inner courtyard and multiple exhibition halls spanning three floors.
Built in the 18th century by architect Robert de Cotte, the Episcopal Palace sustained damage during the Battle of Verdun in 1916 before restoration in 1935.
The center presents exhibitions about Franco-German relations, contemporary conflicts, and human rights, including segments of the Berlin Wall in its gardens.
The facility contains reception rooms accommodating 20 to 300 people, a bookstore with 500 literature references, and collective lodging for 56 visitors.
The center maintains a memorial excellence hub dedicated to World War I, connecting battlefield sites with modern peace education through permanent exhibitions.
