The Villa Schutzenberger, also known as Hôtel Schutzenberger (German: Schützenberger) is an Art Nouveau hôtel particulier on allée de la Robertsau in the Neustadt district of Strasbourg, in the French department of the Bas-Rhin.
[2] This ample villa was built for the owner of the Schutzenberger brewery (Brasserie Schutzenberger) [fr], Louis-Oscar Schützenberger (1866–1943), by Jules (German: Julius) Berninger and his brother in law, Gustave (Gustav) Krafft, two prolific local architects who often worked together between 1895 and 1905.
Inspired by Italianate architecture in its shape and the design of its garden, it is one of the most lavish and frequently cited examples of Art Nouveau architecture in Strasbourg.
[5] In spite of this, due to the financial decline of the Schutzenberger brewery, the villa was sold and threatened with demolition in 1972.
The ground floor was then rented by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, which became renter of the whole building in 1989.
