Palais du Gouverneur, Military residence in Metz, France
The Governor's Palace features 31 residential rooms and 70 auxiliary spaces, constructed with Jaumont stone in Rhine Renaissance architectural style with asymmetrical wings.
Built between 1902 and 1905 under German rule, the palace served as a residence for the military governor and potential accommodation for Emperor Wilhelm II.
The palace combines Gothic and Renaissance elements in its facade, displaying distinctive stepped gables and towers that reflect German architectural influences.
Located at 6 Rue de la Citadelle in Metz, the palace currently serves as headquarters for the military commander of the Northeast region of France.
The palace houses a preserved brown bear measuring 2 meters tall, presented as a friendship gift by Russian hunters in 1898.
