#5217. Majestic Second Empire Manor Facade with Domed Crowning

The photograph depicts the facade of a historic building designed in the French Second Empire style (or late Baroque). The structure showcases a rich architectural composition with characteristic elements of this style.

The facade is constructed from light-colored sandstone or limestone with a warm ochre tint. The central part of the building is accentuated by vertical columns of the Corinthian order supporting a richly decorated entablature. Windows on the first and second floors are framed with elegant arched casings featuring expressive keystones.

Of particular note is the central pediment with a semicircular medallion window framed by stucco decoration. Above it rises a small belvedere tower crowned with a dome. The dome section is covered with metal roofing, creating a contrast with the stone finish of the facade.

The rhythm of the facade is established by the alternation of windows with semicircular and straight finishes, as well as pilasters dividing the wall plane. Rich sculptural decoration, cornices, and mascarons give the building a special elegance and monumentality.

In front of the building is a small grand staircase flanked by decorative plants, emphasizing the representative nature of the structure, characteristic of country residences of the European aristocracy of the 19th century.
