Episcopal Palace, Baroque palace in historic Strasbourg, France.

The Episcopal Palace features two symmetrical facades adorned with small-paned windows and wrought iron works between Parchemin Street and Brûlée Street.

Built from 1732 following Robert de Cotte's designs, the structure initially served as residence for the Dean of Strasbourg Cathedral's Grand Chapter.

The grand staircase stands as an exemplar of French baroque architecture from the 18th century through its proportions and architectural details.

Located at 3 Parchemin Street, the palace houses the offices and residence of the Archbishop of Strasbourg since its acquisition in 1855.

The palace chapel maintains a wooden altar covered in gold leaf, demonstrating the craftsmanship of the period.
