Tintenpalast

The Tintenpalast features a neoclassical design with white walls, incorporating regional materials throughout its construction and architectural elements.

German architect Gottlieb Redecker designed the structure in 1912, which initially served as the German colonial administration headquarters until Namibian independence.

The Parliament Gardens surrounding the building function as a public space where Windhoek residents gather for outdoor activities and community events.

Visitors can access guided tours of the building during weekday working hours to observe parliamentary sessions and learn about legislative processes.

The name Tintenpalast translates to 'Ink Palace', referring to the substantial amount of administrative paperwork processed by government workers in the building.
