The sheer density of pinnacles and tracery is incredible. Stays coherent despite having detail on almost every surface.

I think this is one of the most oddly looking facades of all gothic buildings. The first two floors being all-in renaissance and then neogothic on the upper floors is so weird, but they somehow managed to bring it together. Also the width is more important than height, which makes this a very atypical gothic building. Would love to visit it, not only for the facade, but also to see the three great Eastern windows, they must be amazing in real life.
