Villa Henckel, Architectural heritage monument on Pfingstberg hill, Potsdam, Germany.
The two-story tower villa displays late classical architecture with double-height projections, half-columns, and caryatids on its symmetrical facades.
Built between 1868 and 1870 by master builder Ernst Petzholtz for Berlin bank director Hermann Henckel on a hillside near Pfingstberg.
The building complex includes a vintner's house constructed in the style of an ancient temple, reflecting the Italian-influenced landscape design of Friedrich Wilhelm IV.
The villa houses a private art academy, with information about exhibitions and educational programs available through local tourism offices.
The property features a 6.3-hectare park designed in 1872 by court gardeners Hermann Vollert and Gustav Meyer, recently restored for public access.
