Villa Les Glycines, Art Nouveau villa in Parc de Saurupt, France
Description
Villa Les Glycines is an Art Nouveau residence in Parc de Saurupt featuring a distinctive facade of white limestone and red brick. The four-story structure displays decorative elements with natural motifs across its surfaces, surrounded by a garden setting.
History
Wine merchant Charles Fernbach commissioned architect Emile André to construct this residence between 1902 and 1903 in the planned garden city of Saurupt. The villa emerged during Art Nouveau's height, when Nancy became a center of innovative design and craftsmanship.
Culture
The name comes from wisteria, a climbing plant favored in Art Nouveau design that once adorned the exterior. The building reflects how Nancy's residents embraced nature-inspired decoration as part of their daily surroundings.
Practical
The residence sits within Parc de Saurupt surrounded by green spaces, making it pleasant to walk around the area. The interior access is limited, so visitors should plan to explore the exterior details and the garden setting surrounding the property.
Did you know?
Nancy-based craftsmen Louis Burtin and Emile Surmély created an ornate fireplace in the dining room, showcasing local artisanal skill. This collaboration between architect and artists was typical of how Art Nouveau projects were realized in the city.
