Eynard Palace, Cultural property in Genève-Cité, Switzerland.

Eynard Palace is a neoclassical building constructed between 1817 and 1821 outside Geneva's old city walls, facing the Parc des Bastions on the site of the Bourgeois bastion. Its design, shaped with input from Florentine architect Giovanni Salucci, responds to a marshy former wasteland and backs onto a 16th-century rampart. The palace has a low-pitched slate roof set back so it is not visible from the ground.

Construction began in 1817 under engineer Guillaume Henri Dufour's supervision while owner Jean-Gabriel Eynard managed business affairs abroad. The project reflected a partnership between the engineer overseeing the work on site and the absent patron directing developments from overseas.

Since 1985 the palace has housed the secretariats of Geneva's Conseil administratif and Conseil municipal, with the municipal archives installed in the Saint-Léger wing, originally the stables. On 30 September 2020 the city renamed it "palais Anna et Jean-Gabriel Eynard" to honour Anna Eynard-Lullin's architectural and artistic influence.

The palace stands just outside the old city walls, facing the Parc des Bastions, on the site of the former Bourgeois bastion. The city archives occupy the Saint-Léger wing, originally built as stables. The building is a working municipal office, so visits are tied to administrative business rather than sightseeing.

In 2007 the city installed Mosquito ultrasonic devices around the palace to keep teenagers away; the emitters were removed on 9 May 2007, the same day their presence became public. The episode is a lesser-known chapter in the building's municipal life.
