Prefecture hotel of Aube, Administrative building in Place de la Libération, Troyes, France.
The Prefecture Hotel of Aube features a main entrance with a wrought iron gate and two sculpted lions crafted by artist Valtat.
Constructed between 1778 and 1781 by Parisian architect Louis de La Brière, the building replaced the Notre-Dame-aux-Nonnains Abbey destroyed by fire in 1188.
The architecture of the Prefecture Hotel reflects the late 18th-century French design principles for government buildings with its symmetrical layout and formal entrance.
The building maintains its role as the administrative center of the Aube department, housing government offices and services for local residents.
During the German occupation in World War II, the occupying forces replaced an original bronze medallion on the building with a clock.
