Liebig-Haus, Colonial residence in Khomas Hochland, Namibia

The Liebig-Haus stands on private farmland, 42 kilometers west of Windhoek, with large windows overlooking the surrounding Namibian landscape and a deep rocky river gorge.

Built in 1911 as accommodation for senior staff of the Liebig Extract of Meat Company, which acquired 200,000 hectares of land for cattle farming operations.

The property included the only skittle alley on a farm in South-West Africa, along with a shop, school, and post office during its operational years.

The structure remains visible from the C28 main road, though access requires permission from the current property owners of the Neu Heusis farm.

The residence earned the name Geisterhaus after its abandonment in 1964, when Wilhelm Hoff purchased the farm and left the building unoccupied.
