Nyegaard-Stift, Heritage residential building in Altona-Nord, Germany
The Nyegaard-Stift features three wings arranged around a central courtyard, with decorative towers, oriels, and loggias adorning its castle-like architecture.
Built between 1899 and 1901 by Berlin architects Kühn & Baumgarten, the residence was funded by Hedwig Nyegaard to support women from educated professions.
The building reflects the German Neo-Renaissance style through its stucco construction and sandstone ornaments, marking a departure from typical Hamburg architecture.
The facility contains 71 residential units managed by Wichern Baugesellschaft mbH, providing long-term housing solutions specifically for single women.
Known as the Black Castle of Altona, the building underwent extensive renovation in 2009, including attic space conversion that added 20 new apartments.
