Villa Metz, Architectural heritage villa at Seestraße, Potsdam, Germany

The Villa Metz stands on the shore of Heiligen See, featuring floor-to-ceiling arched windows and ornamental vases in niches along its neoclassical facade.

Built in 1908 by architect Paul Renner for Wanda Metz, the villa replaced a former neo-Gothic mill house that had stood on the property since 1795.

The British Military Liaison Mission operated from this location between 1958 and 1990, with the Union Jack flag marking its presence during the Cold War.

The villa contains 1,200 square meters of living space and underwent extensive renovations in 2001 under the direction of architect Josef Paul Kleihues.

Fashion designer Wolfgang Joop transformed the property into Villa Wunderkind before the Hasso Plattner Foundation acquired it in 2017 for administrative purposes.
