Immeuble de la Société théosophique, Art Nouveau building in 7th arrondissement, France

The building at 4 Square Rapp combines brick and stone construction with neo-gothic elements and features a grand hall crowned by a dome.

Constructed between 1912 and 1915 by architect Louis Lefranc, the building served as headquarters for the Theosophical Society during the early 20th century.

The performance hall, meeting rooms, and library within the building facilitated philosophical discussions and cultural exchanges among European intellectuals.

Located near the Eiffel Tower, the building houses both the Theosophical Society offices and the Embassy of Costa Rica on its fourth floor.

During World War II, Nazi forces seized the archives stored in the building, with portions later returned by Russia in the 2000s.
