Villa Schutzenberger, Art Nouveau private mansion in Neustadt district, Strasbourg, France.
Description
Villa Schutzenberger is a private mansion in the Neustadt district with stone facades decorated with carved floral designs and ornate wrought iron balconies. The building displays refined details in its courtyards and elevations that are typical of Art Nouveau style from that period.
History
The residence was built between 1897 and 1900 by architects Jules Berninger and Gustave Krafft for Louis Oscar Schutzenberger, a prominent brewery owner. The municipality prevented its demolition in 1972, leading to its protected status as a historical monument in 1975.
Culture
The building reflects Strasbourg's architectural transformation during the German period, blending Italian villa styles with Art Nouveau design. This mix of southern and northern European influences shaped how the house looks and feels today.
Practical
The European Parliamentary Association occupies the building and opens it to visitors during the European Heritage Days in September. Planning ahead is helpful since access is generally limited to this annual event.
