Kelch House, Mansion in Tchaikovsky Street, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Kelch House exhibits French Renaissance style on its facade, with Gothic elements in the courtyard and Art Nouveau features in the service areas.

Constructed in 1903 for Alexander Kelch, the mansion replaced a two-story Baroque building previously owned by Greek Consul Grigori Kondoianaki.

The mansion contained special display cabinets in the Yellow Sitting Room for one of the largest collections of Faberge eggs outside the Romanov family.

The building now serves as part of Saint Petersburg State University's law faculty, with a restaurant operating in the basement level.

Three different architects contributed to the mansion's design: Vassili Schöne created the facade, Vladimir Chagin designed the interiors, and Carl Schmidt supervised construction.
