Préfecture des Hauts-de-Seine

The Hauts-de-Seine Prefecture stands 113 meters tall with 42 floors and features eight elevators in its modernist concrete structure.

Architect André Wogenscky designed this administrative building, which opened in 1973 during the rapid expansion of Paris region administrative facilities.

The prefect's office on the 24th floor, grand halls, and monumental staircases received historical monument status in January 2019.

The building serves as the administrative headquarters for the Hauts-de-Seine department, managing regional governmental services and public affairs.

This prefecture remains the sole administrative building in Paris inner suburbs with spaces officially registered as historical monuments.
