Baron Empain Palace

Baron Empain Palace is a mansion in Heliopolis built in the early 20th century for the Belgian industrialist Édouard Empain, who founded the district. The French architect Alexandre Marcel based it on Hindu temple architecture, with a tiered tower and dense sculpted ornament. Restored by the state, it reopened in 2020 with an exhibition on the history of Heliopolis.
