Are we sure about this? I know all the archbishops were Rohans between the building of the current palace and the Revolution, but it replaced an earlier bishop's palace on the same site, and was no doubt built with the revenues of the see. Wouldn't it have belonged to the archdiocese in the normal way? I notice the 18th-century print describes it as the "palais episcopal". Johnbod ( talk) 12:45, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
I have just completed a copy-edit of the article. I have just two concerns:
1) I came across only one unclear sentence that I don't know how to fix. Since I don't know who is preparing to submit the article to FAC, I will post my comment here. The third paragraph in Palais Rohan (Strasbourg)#Apartments begins:
It is the second sentence that I find to be unclear, particularly the second half of the sentence:
and especially "were destroyed with the museum situated in the Aubette".
(a) Unless I missed it, the Aubette has not been mentioned before now, so the reader won't know what or when this was;
(b) Because of the phrasing "were destroyed with the museum", it is not clear whether, in addition to "some works of art, including the overdoors...", the entire building of the museum was destroyed, or whether "some works of art..." were destroyed when the museum was situated [housed] in the Aubette.
If someone could clarify this, it would be good. You can either re-word it yourself, or explain it to me and I'll attempt a re-wording.
2) In the second paragraph in Palais Rohan (Strasbourg)#Structure, the word "bulk" is used twice: "the main residential bulk" and "the residential bulk". The word is used in a way that is not the usual usage, for example: "The bulk of the work has been completed", where "bulk" means the majority, the greater part. Here is a link to the entry for "bulk" in the on-line Merriam Webster dictionary: [1]. I don't see a definition for the way the word is used here, and I don't know if this is a specialized word from the field of architecture. I wonder if either another word could be used instead of "bulk" (such as "area", "section", or "wing") or a link to an article or definition could be supplied. – Corinne ( talk) 20:48, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
The article failed its FAC, but it was much expanded and edited in the process since it became a GA, and actually got some support: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Palais Rohan, Strasbourg/archive1. It most probably fulfils all the criteria to be promoted A-Class. Thank you in advance to all future reviewers! -- Edelseider ( talk) 22:02, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Just like if you wanted to take this to FAC, you'd have to reply to these valid concerns. Under A-class criteria, I have these points. I'm not doing a full review unless you want me to, but I saw some curious things here.
