Palais de Charles Atangana, Official residence in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
The palace displays Provençal architectural elements, including a grand ceremonial exterior staircase and multiple floors rising above the Yaoundé landscape.
The palace, constructed in 1911 during German colonial rule, served as the residence of Charles Atangana, the paramount chief of Ewondo and Bane peoples.
The building represents the intersection of European colonial architecture with traditional Cameroonian leadership structures through its design and original function.
The palace underwent major restoration work in 2001 to maintain its structural integrity and preserve its architectural elements for future generations.
Charles Atangana became the first Ewondo person to receive baptism and later used this palace to bridge communication between colonial authorities and local tribes.
