Castel Béranger, Art Nouveau apartment building in Auteuil, France

The Castel Béranger features seven floors with intricate wrought iron balconies, bean-shaped windows, and colorful mosaic decorations on its facade.

Completed in 1898, the building received the first prize for the most beautiful facade of Paris and marked Hector Guimard's first major architectural project.

The structure incorporates natural forms and organic patterns throughout its design, representing the departure from traditional late 19th-century Parisian architecture.

Located at 14 rue La Fontaine in the 16th district, the building remains a private residence with limited access but visible exterior details.

The entrance door displays an unconventional design influenced by Antoni Gaudí, featuring metal seahorses climbing up through the wrought iron railings.
