Maison Weissenburger, Private mansion on Boulevard Charles V, Nancy, France

Maison Weissenburger is a private residence in Nancy that combines Art Nouveau design with hidden metal structures and nature-inspired decorative details. The facades, roofs, and glass partitions were placed under historical protection in separate phases.

Lucien Weissenburger, architect of the Royer printing works, built this complex between 1903 and 1904. It combined a private mansion, a rental building and his own architectural office. The building was listed as a monument historique on 3 June 1994, and its facades, roofs and Jacques Gruber's glass partitions were classified on 12 April 1996.

The ironwork on the facade is by Louis Majorelle, whose structures carry sheet-metal pieces repeating the seaweed motif found in the building's carved envelope. The glass partitions are by Jacques Gruber. These two Nancy workshops gave the facade its unity, and the metalwork can be read from the street.

The building stands on boulevard Charles-V, near the cours Léopold, so its facade can be viewed from the public pavement. It remains a private residence and an architect's former office, so the interior, vestibule and glass partitions are not open to visitors.

The building was listed as a monument historique on 3 June 1994, and its facades, roofs and Jacques Grüber's glass partitions were classified on 12 April 1996. The architect was Lucien Weissenburger, who also designed the Royer printing works in Nancy.
