Palace of Seyid Mirbabayev, French Renaissance palace in Azneft Square, Baku, Azerbaijan

The Palace of Seyid Mirbabayev features decorative stone facades and architectural elements reflecting French Renaissance design principles throughout its exterior structure.

Constructed between 1893 and 1895 by architect Pavel Shternberg, the palace initially belonged to Aramyan before oil millionaire Seyid Mirbabayev acquired it.

The palace represents the period of rapid development in Baku when oil magnates invested their wealth in constructing grand residences with European architectural influences.

The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan currently occupies the building, which underwent restoration work during the 1990s to maintain its structural integrity.

The British Consulate operated on the first floor during the Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan before the Bolsheviks confiscated the property.
