Ancien évêché, Episcopal palace in Rodez, France
The episcopal palace stands across from Notre-Dame Cathedral, featuring a grand staircase and two pavilions along its main facade.
The current palace, built between 1684 and 1694 under Bishop Paul-Louis-Philippe Lezay de Lusignan, replaced previous structures dating from the 6th century.
The palace represents French architectural evolution through its Louis XIII style and demonstrates the temporal power of bishops in medieval France.
