Sursock House, Private residence in Rmeil district, Beirut, Lebanon.

The white stone mansion features traditional Lebanese architecture with high ceilings, ornate decorations, and multiple reception areas across its spacious floors.

Completed in 1860 by Moïse Sursock, the palace remained in the family's possession and underwent extensive restoration after the Lebanese Civil War.

The palace represents the intersection of Ottoman, French, and Lebanese architectural elements, reflecting the multicultural heritage of 19th-century Beirut.

The palace sustained damage during the 2020 Beirut port explosion and currently undergoes reconstruction efforts to preserve its historical structure.

Local craftsman Mitri Tarazi created the distinctive engraved copper entrance door, incorporating traditional Lebanese metalworking techniques.
