Hôtel des Deux-Ponts, Baroque private mansion in Grande Île, Strasbourg, France.

The Hôtel des Deux-Ponts stands at 13 rue Brûlée with its decorated facades, French gardens, and a central basin surrounded by flowerbeds.

Architect Joseph Massol constructed this residence between 1754 and 1755 for the Gayot brothers, who served as royal moneylenders to King Louis XV.

The ceiling of the entrance hall contains a fresco painted by Joseph Melling in 1785, representing the artistic standards of 18th-century Strasbourg.

The building functions as the military governor's residence and opens to visitors during European Heritage Days, with entry through the main portal.

Prince Maximilien-Joseph de Deux-Ponts, who later became King of Bavaria, was born in this mansion on August 25, 1786.
