Sursock House

Sursock House, also known as Sursock Palace (French: Palais Sursock), is a grand palace located on Rue Sursock in the city of Beirut in Lebanon. The palace, which was built in the 1850s by Moïse Sursock,[1] is owned by Lady Cochrane Sursock, an advocate of preserving historic buildings in Lebanon.[2]

The palace, a symbol of the Sursock family's rich history, is located in the historic Rue Sursock, in the Achrafieh district of Beirut. Sursock House is surrounded by gardens that can be hired for special events, such as weddings.[3] The palace faces the Sursock Museum, a villa from 1912 that was bequeathed to the city of Beirut by Nicolas Sursock and became a museum in 1961.
