Hôtel de Lillebonne

A fine example of Nancy's former seigneurial residences, the Hôtel de Lillebonne stands on the site of a former municipal bathhouse.
It was built for Claude de Beauvau by architect Nicolas La Hiere. After becoming a ducal property, it was offered by Charles IV to his daughter Anne, wife of the Prince de Lillebonne. Its Italianate facade reflects the artistic exchanges between Lorraine and Italy at the end of the 16th century. The hotel's most striking artistic feature is the staircase, reminiscent of the one at Château de Fléville, also owned by the Beauvau family. It is decorated with fine interlacing and palmettes sculptures. The building is one of the most important examples of Renaissance architecture in Nancy.
Ceded in 1972 to the de Nancy, it now houses a Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture.
