Lloyd Palace was built between 1910-1912 after Leopold Baumhorn's plans and now hosts the headquarters of the Politehnica University Timisoara.
The Lloyd Palace is located in Victory Square, after 1948 becoming the headquarters of the Rectorate of the Politehnica University of Timisoara. The building was inaugurated on September 29, 1912, and was realized during 1910-1912 following the plans of the architect Leopold Baumhorn in a Seccesion style. At the ground floor of the building there was a café called Café Lloyd and a restaurant, meeting place of Timisoara’s elites and bohemians, Lloyd Restaurant still existing today. On the first floor of the building was the headquarters of the Agricultural Stock Exchange and the Lloyd Society, and on the second and third floors were private apartments. The Lloyd Palace was the property of the Timișoara Chamber of Commerce during the interwar period. The interior elements - mirrors, stained glass windows, chandeliers of monumental dimensions - belong to a language of luxury in space decorations.
The palace can be visited during the tour Art Nouveau in Timișoara - The end of an era, organized within the cultural project Architecture Tour.
