Neubau Strasbourg

The Neubau, also known as Le Neue Bau or Neuer Bau (German for "new building"), is a historic building located on the Grande Île in Strasbourg, France. Designated a Monument historique in 1995, it is considered the most representative example of Renaissance architecture in Strasbourg and a major landmark of the old town.

Originally designed as a "new building" without a specific purpose, its construction aimed to expand space for older administrative buildings that previously occupied the site now known as Place Gutenberg. The building reflects a modern style for its time, likely influenced by Swiss architects. Its three floors feature pilasters crowned with Tuscan, Ionian, and Corinthian capitals from top to bottom.

After the demolition of the medieval town hall (Pfalz) in 1781, the Neubau became the new town hall. During the French Revolution, it was pillaged, and its original furniture nearly vanished. It later served as the Chamber of Commerce beginning in 1792 and was refurnished by order of Napoleon in 1802, incorporating Baroque tapestries and early 19th-century furniture. In 1867, architect Eugène Petiti added a south-side aisle, replicating the building's original 1580s style.

The Neubau underwent complete renovation in the 2000s. Nearby, other Renaissance civic buildings like the Hôtel de Hanau and Grosse Metzig were constructed or started after the Neubau's opening.
