A double-skin façade element comprises a planar outer glazing element and a planar inner glazing element which are held at a distance from one another in a thermally insulated surrounding frame profile; at least one pressure equalization device which is in air-conducting connection with the outside atmosphere and with a façade intermediate space which is provided between the outer glazing element and the inner glazing element at least one drying device fillable with desiccant, is either located in the façade intermediate space or is integrated into the surrounding frame profile and exchanges air with the façade intermediate space; wherein the at least one pressure equalization device and the at least one drying device are positioned and dimensioned such that they do not extend into a transparent region of the façade element. The at least one drying device is designed to make it possible to replace the desiccant.
