Former Palace of The Prince

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:44:23

The Palais des Princes Evêques (former palace of prince-bishops) boasts a mishmash of styles: the facade is Italian Renaissance in parts and 18th-century French; the interior is Gothic. Seeing it for the first time, author Victor Hugo said, 'Nowhere have I seen a construction so remarkable, serious and gradiose at the same time.' Today, it's a courthouse.
