Schloss Düneck, Heritage villa in Moorrege, Germany.
Schloss Düneck is a four-story villa in Moorrege that combines Victorian architecture with French and neoclassical styles. The building is characterized by yellow and red brick walls beneath a slate-covered roof with white ornamental gables.
Michael Lienau, who accumulated wealth through wine trading between France and America, commissioned his brother Detlef to build this estate in 1871. The construction of the villa coincided with a period when industrial growth allowed merchants to commission grand residences.
The name Düneck refers to the dune landscape where the property stands, reflecting its connection to the surrounding terrain. Today the rooms serve as a setting for gatherings and cultural events, with the design reflecting the refined lifestyle of the 19th century.
The estate sits in a quiet location outside the village center and is easily accessible by car. Access is via a tree-lined driveway leading to the main entrance, with ample parking available on the grounds.
During restoration work in 2021, original Pompeian red paint from 1871 was discovered beneath ten layers of paint and preserved by the owners. This discovery enabled the authentic original color of the facade to be restored to its initial state.
