Prefecture hotel of Morbihan, Administrative building in Vannes, France.

The neoclassical structure features symmetrical wings, classical columns, imperial coat of arms, and decorative elements representing Breton culture on its main facade.

Following the collapse of a medieval building in 1860, architect M. Amé designed this new prefecture in Louis XIII style, completed in 1865.

The prefecture building stands as a representation of French administrative architecture, combining imperial grandeur with regional Breton architectural elements.

The Prefecture Hotel serves as the administrative center of Morbihan department, where official meetings and governmental decisions take place.

Three rivers converge in the prefecture gardens, creating a natural water feature that flows through the carefully landscaped French-style grounds.
