Esders and Scheefhaals building, Art Nouveau department store on Moika Embankment, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Esders and Scheefhaals building exhibits Art Nouveau architecture with detailed ornamental elements across its multi-story facade at coordinates 59°56'N, 30°19'E.

Architects Vladimir Lipsky and Constantin de Rochefort completed this commercial structure in 1907, which operated as a French-Russian trading house until 1919.

The building demonstrates the fusion of European and Russian architectural traditions through its design elements and historical function as an international trading center.

Located at Moika Embankment 73-79, the building now functions as the Au Pont Rouge luxury department store following extensive renovations in 2011-2012.

The structure's reconstructed cupola, removed in the 1930s to maintain visibility of the Admiralty tower, returned during the 2012 restoration project.
