Hôtel Brion, Art Nouveau private mansion in Neustadt district, Strasbourg, France

The Hôtel Brion is a private mansion in Art Nouveau style located in Strasbourg's Neustadt district, combining timber framing with reinforced concrete walls. The facade features ornate stonemasonry, artfully crafted wrought iron balconies, and a distinctive entrance gate.

The building was constructed in 1904 by architect Auguste Brion as his personal residence and later served as Hotel Marguerite from 1926 to 1972. After returning to private ownership, it received protected monument status in 1975.

The building displays characteristic Art Nouveau features with flowing lines, stained glass windows, and decorative metalwork that catch your eye as you pass by. These design elements shape the entire street's appearance and make it a special place for those interested in this artistic style.

The building sits on Rue Sleidan in the heart of the Neustadt district, where you can spot it during a walk through the neighborhood. Though it holds protected status, you can appreciate its impressive facade from the street.

Architect Auguste Brion, who came from a family of artists, designed four additional houses on the same street between 1903 and 1905. This cluster of buildings forms one of the city's most interesting Art Nouveau ensembles.

Alternative photo locations in Strasbourg

Strasbourg offers numerous photographic opportunities beyond its main attractions. The city presents a collection of historic timber-framed houses, medieval bridges, hidden courtyards and notable architectural monuments from various periods. From the hieroglyph-adorned Maison Égyptienne to the neoclassical University Palace, from ancient defensive structures to Art Nouveau villas, these sites reveal authentic aspects of Strasbourg's heritage. In the tanners' quarter, the Maison des Tanneurs documents the medieval craft tradition, while the Cour du Corbeau, with its multi-story wooden galleries, represents one of the city's oldest preserved inns. Rue du Jeu-des-Enfants leads through a quiet collection of historic residences, and Place de la République demonstrates the late 19th-century Prussian urban planning. The Barrage Vauban, a 17th-century defensive installation, provides wide views over the Ill River and the Ponts Couverts from its rooftop terrace. Away from the tourist crowds, additional photogenic locations include the vaulted cellars of the Cave des Hospices Civils, where wine has been stored for centuries, the Art Nouveau architecture along Allée de la Robertsau, and the neoclassical facade of the Lycée des Pontonniers. Place Saint-Étienne and Place Saint-Thomas show everyday city life in historic settings. These locations enable photographs that go beyond typical postcard views and provide a nuanced perspective on Strasbourg's architectural diversity.
