Charlottenhof in Essen, Architectural ensemble in Essen, Germany.

The Charlottenhof ensemble includes multiple structures positioned on elevated ground along the southern banks of the Ruhr River, opposite Kettwig district.

Friedrich Flick, an entrepreneur, commissioned architect Paul Schultze-Naumburg to design the original villa in the 1920s before its destruction during World War II.

The current complex serves as the Youth Education Center St. Altfrid, established by the Diocese of Essen to promote educational programs and community engagement.

Visitors can access the grounds through guided tours, which include the church building consecrated in 1981 and the renovated structures from the 1960s.

The original foundations of the 1920s villa were integrated into the new construction during the 1966 renovation, preserving elements of the initial architecture.
