Avant-corps
Template:Short description Template:Italic title
An avant-corps (Template:Langx or Script error: No such module "Lang"., plural Script error: No such module "Lang"., Template:Langx, Template:Langx), a French term literally meaning "fore-body", is a part of a building, such as a porch or pavilion, that juts out from the corps de logis, often taller than other parts of the building.[1][2] It is common in façades in French Baroque architecture.
Particularly in German architecture, a corner Risalit is where two wings meet at right angles. Baroque three-winged constructions often incorporate a median Risalit in a main hall or a stairwell, such as in Weißenstein Palace and the Template:Ill.
