Maison Égyptienne de la Neustadt, Egyptian Revival house in Neustadt district, Strasbourg, France.
The building features stone carvings, geometric patterns, and a large polychrome fresco depicting two Egyptian figures surrounded by botanical elements on its facade.
Constructed in 1905, the house emerged during a period when European architecture incorporated Egyptian motifs following archaeological discoveries in North Africa.
The structure represents the intersection of Art Nouveau design with Egyptian Revival elements, reflecting European interpretations of ancient Egyptian aesthetics.
Located at 10 Rue du General Rapp, the exterior of this residential building remains visible from the street and connects to bus line 10 at Vosges-Oberlin stop.
The facade includes a continuous fresco extending from ground level to top floor, displaying hunting scenes with Egyptian figures among lotus and papyrus plants.

Strasbourg offers numerous photographic opportunities beyond its main attractions. The city presents a collection of historic timber-framed houses, medieval bridges, hidden courtyards and notable architectural monuments from various periods. From the hieroglyph-adorned Maison Égyptienne to the neoclassical University Palace, from ancient defensive structures to Art Nouveau villas, these sites reveal authentic aspects of Strasbourg's heritage. In the tanners' quarter, the Maison des Tanneurs documents the medieval craft tradition, while the Cour du Corbeau, with its multi-story wooden galleries, represents one of the city's oldest preserved inns. Rue du Jeu-des-Enfants leads through a quiet collection of historic residences, and Place de la République demonstrates the late 19th-century Prussian urban planning. The Barrage Vauban, a 17th-century defensive installation, provides wide views over the Ill River and the Ponts Couverts from its rooftop terrace. Away from the tourist crowds, additional photogenic locations include the vaulted cellars of the Cave des Hospices Civils, where wine has been stored for centuries, the Art Nouveau architecture along Allée de la Robertsau, and the neoclassical facade of the Lycée des Pontonniers. Place Saint-Étienne and Place Saint-Thomas show everyday city life in historic settings. These locations enable photographs that go beyond typical postcard views and provide a nuanced perspective on Strasbourg's architectural diversity.
