Gustav-Heinemann-Ufer 144, Neo-Baroque villa in Bayenthal, Germany.

The Palais du Rhin features nine window axes on its limestone facade, with semi-circular projections adorned with balconies facing the Rhine River.

Constructed between 1906 and 1908 for banker Emil von Oppenheim, the building replaced an earlier villa owned by machinery manufacturer Paul Josef Hagen.

The villa's design by architects Charles Mewès and Alfons Bischoff incorporates French architectural elements, including a grand curved staircase and ornate details.

In September 2021, Sotheby's established its German headquarters in the building, utilizing 627 square meters of prime space on the main floor.

During World War II, the structure was converted into a fortified administrative building and received reinforcements to protect against bombing raids.
