The building of the French embassy in Vienna

French Embassy in Vienna, Ambassade de France à Vienne
Austria, Vienna
The French Embassy is located in the historical center of the city on the large Schwarzenberg Square, next to Karlsplatz. It was built by the French architect Georges Chedan in 1912. The snow-white triangular Art Nouveau building is completely atypical for diplomatic missions. Its facade is decorated with wrought iron bars and high reliefs with female statues, while the interior is decorated with marble, mahogany and decorative stucco.

The building of the French Embassy in Vienna is located in one of the most prestigious areas of the city, on Technik Street, 2. It is one of the most interesting buildings located along Schwarzenberg Square. Its construction began in 1904 and was completed only in 1912. The building was designed by French architect Georges Chedanne, whose popularity brought the design of the Galeries Lafayette in Paris. Large and very beautiful building made in Art Nouveau style. White marble was used to build the embassy.
