Residenz Bleichröder, Historical villa in Heringsdorf, Germany

Residenz Bleichröder is a two-storey neobaroque villa with an attic storey, mansard roof and dormers, standing on a rise within a park of old beeches at Delbrückstraße 14 in Heringsdorf. A wrought-iron fence with a two-leaf gate survives in its original form. The grounds of about 9,000 square metres hold a rose garden with a historic fountain, and two villa-like new buildings and an underground garage were added in 2000.

The villa was built in 1908 for the Bleichröder family, who worked in banking. The property changed hands several times and was restructured and repurposed during the second half of the 20th century.

The building reflects architectural styles favored along the Baltic coast and shows features typical of early 20th-century seaside resorts. It remains recognizable today as a marker of the era when such structures were built and shaped the waterfront.

The grounds are entered through the original wrought-iron gate on Delbrückstraße, with the villa set back on a rise within the park. A 2000 renovation added an underground garage, two villa-style new buildings and a playground on the roughly 9,000-square-metre plot. The rose garden with its historic fountain and the old beeches are on the grounds.

The bronze figure of an archer at the foot of the villa, made by sculptor Ferdinand Lepke (1866–1909), has stood there since 1910. It was reinterpreted as the hunting goddess Diana and gave the house the name Villa Diana for a time.
