Haus Lesmona, Classical villa in Burglesum, Germany

The white villa stands on the elevated bank of the Lesum River within Knoops Park, featuring symmetrical architecture and a veranda.

Built in 1814 as Heinrichsburg by merchants Anton and Heinrich Walte, the structure underwent substantial modifications during its renovation in 1862.

The letters written at this villa by Magdalene Melchers to her friend Bertha formed the basis of the 1951 epistolary novel Summer in Lesmona.

Located at Am Kapellenberg 5, the building currently functions as both a residential space and an art gallery open to visitors.

The property contains a bronze bust memorial dedicated to Magdalene Melchers, installed in 2001 beneath the villa grounds.
