Wunderbau, Architectural heritage villa in Elberfeld district, Wuppertal, Germany
The Wunderbau features a two-story, ten-axle structure divided into three sections by vertical masonry pilasters, constructed entirely from natural stone materials.
Built in 1754 for merchant Peter vom Heydt, this building withstood World War II bombing with its two-meter-thick walls while the roof and interior were destroyed.
The building transformed from a merchant's residence to a Pentecostal community center, with its vaulted cellars serving as a worship space since 1973.
Located at coordinates 51.2577, 7.16089, the building stands on Am Wunderbau street, approximately two kilometers from Wuppertal's central station.
The original gardens featured multiple terraces carved into rock, complete with springs, waterfalls, grottoes, and statues reminiscent of the Hanging Gardens.
