Case de Gaulle, Classical architectural building in Bacongo, Brazzaville, Republic of Congo.
The Case de Gaulle presents symmetrical proportions with a central entrance, detailed columns, and geometric patterns characteristic of classical architecture principles.
Roger Erell designed and constructed this building in March 1941, during a period when Brazzaville served as the capital of Free France.
The building functions as the French ambassador's residence since 1960, representing diplomatic relations between France and the Republic of Congo.
Located at coordinates -4.291111, 15.265833, the building stands along the southern corniche overlooking the Congo River and Kinshasa.
The structure incorporates local purple sandstone and concrete materials, with architectural elements designed for natural ventilation in the tropical climate.
