Magistrate's Residence, National monument in Lüderitz, Namibia
The two-story residence features a tower room, decorated ceilings with impressionistic paintings, and art nouveau ornaments throughout the interior spaces.
Built between 1909 and 1911 for Hans Goerke, a diamond company manager, during the period when Lüderitz experienced rapid growth from diamond discoveries.
The architecture combines German colonial influences with art nouveau elements, including flamingo designs on colored window panes and Egyptian-inspired pillars.
Located on Am Diamandberg Street, the residence opens for visitors Monday through Friday from 14:00 to 16:00 and weekends from 16:00 to 17:00.
Each room extends outward from the main structure, creating distinct spaces such as a console in the sitting room and alcoves in the dining area.
