National Theatre of Strasbourg

The National Theatre of Strasbourg (French: Théâtre national de Strasbourg, pronounced [teɑtʁ nɑsjɔnal də stʁasbuʁ]; TNS) is a palace building on Strasbourg's Place de la République, now occupied by a theatre company of the same name, the National Theatre of Strasbourg.

The TNS was originally built to house the legislative assembly of the regional parliament of Alsace-Lorraine, after the area came under German control with the Treaty of Frankfurt (1871). It was built between 1888 and 1889 in neo-Renaissance style by the architect partners August Hartel and Skjold Neckelmann.
