Palais Rohan (Musée archéologique, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Musée des Arts Décoratifs)

The Palais Rohan in Strasbourg was built from 1732 to 1742 according to the plans of Robert de Cotte, First Architect of the King, for Cardinal Armand-Gaston de Rohan-Soubise, Prince-Bishop of Strasbourg.

Designed on the model of the great Parisian hotels, the episcopal palace of Strasbourg is one of the most beautiful architectural achievements of the 18th century in France, as much for the noble and classical elevation of its facades as for its sumptuous interior decorations.

Built, decorated and furnished in the space of ten years, this sumptuous residence, which has remained virtually unchanged since its construction, is distinguished by its exceptional unity of style.

The city's Fine Arts Museum moved in in 1889, followed by the Archaeological Museum in 1913 and the Decorative Arts Museum in 1924.
