Episcopal Palace, Baroque palace in historic Strasbourg, France.
The Episcopal Palace is a baroque-style building in Strasbourg that sits between Parchemin Street and Brûlée Street. Its facades display small-paned windows and wrought iron decorative elements typical of the period.
The palace was built starting in 1732 based on designs by architect Robert de Cotte and first served as a residence for the Dean of Strasbourg Cathedral's chapter. Since 1855 it has been the official seat and administrative center of the Archbishop of Strasbourg.
The name reflects its purpose as a residence for high-ranking church officials. Visitors can still see the grand interior spaces that show how important this place was for religious authority in the city.
The building is located in Strasbourg's old town and stands out with its baroque architecture and symmetrical facades. Its position on Parchemin Street makes it easy to spot while walking through the historic district.
Inside the palace is a chapel with a wooden altar covered in gold leaf. This detail shows the exceptional craftsmanship that went into decorating spaces meant for religious use.
