Palais Rohan Palace

The Palais Rohan Palace in Strasbourg is the previous habitation of the sovereign priests and cardinals of the House of Rohan, an antiquated French honorable family initially from Brittany. It is a noteworthy compositional, chronicled, and social milestone in the city. It was worked by Strasbourg Cathedral during the 1730s, from structures by Robert de Cotte, and is viewed as a magnum opus of French Baroque architecture.

Since its culmination in 1742, the royal residence has facilitated various French rulers, for example, Louis XV, Marie Antoinette, Napoleon and Josephine, and Charles X. Mirroring the historical backdrop of Strasbourg and of France, the royal residence has been claimed progressively by the honorability, the region, the government, the express, the college, and the region once more. Its compositional origination and its iconography were planned to demonstrate the arrival of Roman Catholicism to the city, which had been ruled by Protestantism for the past two centuries.

Subsequently the prelate's condos face the house of God, toward the north, and huge numbers of the statues, reliefs and artistic creations mirror the Catholic creed. The royal residence is organized around a substantial and cleared patio. It has a trapezoidal arrangement, and the land falls away toward the stream Ill. The riverside facade is accordingly both the most astounding and the vastest of the royal residence.
