Palais Rihour, Gothic palace in Lille, France
The Palais Rihour features remaining medieval structures including a guard room, conclave hall, and sacristy decorated with stained glass windows.
Philippe le Bon initiated the construction of this palace in 1453 on marshy ground, with architect Evrard de Mazieres completing the project twenty years later.
The palace exhibits late Gothic architectural elements with mullioned windows and ribbed vaulting, representing the architectural preferences of the Burgundian period.
The Lille Tourist Office occupies the guard room on the ground floor, providing visitor information and offering local artisanal products for purchase.
An accidental fire in April 1916 destroyed significant portions of the building, including municipal archives, due to firefighting complications.
