Haus Felseck, Architectural heritage villa in Königswinter, Germany

Haus Felseck stands on the northwest slope of Drachenfels mountain, featuring a mansard hip roof and three axes with a central projection and gabled house.

Built in 1899 for Cologne businessman August Wirtz, the villa underwent expansions in 1910 with a porter's house and received its current form through renovations in 1924-1925.

From 1952 to 1972, Haus Felseck served as the residence of the Indonesian Embassy, marking its role in international diplomatic relations in post-war Germany.

Located at Am Domstein 9, above Federal Highway 42, the villa contains multiple residential units and maintains its protected status as an architectural monument.

During World War II, the villa functioned as an alternative location for several construction companies from Cologne, with the porter's house suffering wartime destruction.
