Prefecture hotel of Yvelines, Government building in Versailles, France.
The Prefecture Hotel of Yvelines stands as a freestone structure at 11-13 Avenue de Paris, featuring a triangular pediment with sculptural elements by Georges Clère.
Built between 1863 and 1866 on the former royal kennel site, the building housed the Prussian General Staff during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.
The building represents French administrative architecture of the 1860s with its symmetrical design and classical elements, reflecting governmental authority through its structure.
The Prefecture Hotel functions as the headquarters for both the prefecture and departmental council of Yvelines, managing regional administrative services since 1968.
The building served as a temporary residence for French Presidents Thiers and MacMahon, hosting government council meetings before their transfer to Paris in 1879.
