Second Empire architecture in Europe information


The Palais Garnier, a Second Empire architectural mix of Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque styles

Second Empire architecture is an architectural style rooted in the 16th-century Renaissance, which grew to its greatest popularity in Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century. As the style evolved from its origins, it acquired a mix of European styles, most notably the Baroque, often combined with mansard roofs and low, square based domes.[1] It derived its name from the Second French Empire of Napoleon III.
