Palais de l'Archevêché de Paris, Episcopal residence in Île de la Cité, Paris, France
The Palais de l'Archevêché de Paris stood adjacent to Notre-Dame Cathedral, featuring a mix of Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.
Maurice de Sully initiated the construction of the palace in 1161, which served as the residence of Paris bishops until its elevation to archbishopric status in 1622.
The palace functioned as a center for religious ceremonies and ecclesiastical administration, maintaining strong connections with Notre-Dame Cathedral's activities.
The palace complex included multiple reception halls, private chambers, and a chapel that later transformed into an anatomical amphitheater during post-revolutionary times.
During the French Revolution, the palace temporarily served as a meeting location for the Constituent Assembly before its destruction by a mob in 1831.
