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.
The house was built between 1903 and 1905 as the private home and office of architect Lucien Weissenburger. It documents a shift in how Art Nouveau principles moved into residential spaces for architects themselves.
The building brings together the work of several Nancy craftspeople whose glass and metalwork contributions remain visible on its exterior today. These handcrafted details shape how the house appears and reflect the artistic strength of that period.
The building sits in the city center and is accessible from outside to view its facade and decorative details. Since it remains a private residence, the interior is not open to visitors.
The interior holds artistic ceramic work and terrace decoration created by a local ceramics manufacturer following a designer's drawings. These hidden artworks show that the house's decoration extended far beyond its outer walls.
