Castel Beranger

Castel Béranger is a landmark residential building in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, celebrated as one of the finest examples of Art Nouveau architecture. Designed by Hector Guimard, the building features sinuous ironwork, ceramic tiles, and asymmetrical facades that break from traditional Parisian styles. The entrance is particularly striking, with a dramatic wrought-iron gate and organic plant-like motifs. While the building is private, visitors can admire its exterior from the street and peek into the courtyard. The surrounding Auteuil neighborhood is known for its quiet, upscale streets and proximity to the Bois de Boulogne.

A bit of history

Castel Béranger was built between 1895 and 1898 by architect Hector Guimard, who later designed Paris's iconic metro entrances. It was one of the first Art Nouveau buildings in the city and won a competition for the best facade in 1899.
