Gerloffsche Villa, Architectural heritage monument at Löwenwall, Brunswick, Germany.

The Gerloffsche Villa stands as a grand residential building with five floors at the back and two visible floors from the front entrance at Löwenwall 16.

Built between 1888 and 1889 by architect Ludwig Winter for sugar wholesaler Georg Ernst Ludwig Gerloff and his eight-member family in Brunswick.

The villa incorporates Italian Renaissance design elements, featuring an octagonal vestibule with a porcelain lion and white stone and brick facade combinations.

The building now functions as Haus der Braunschweigischen Stiftungen, hosting several foundations including the Stiftung Braunschweigischer Kulturbesitz since 2006.

The villa earned recognition as the first residence in Brunswick to incorporate central heating, displaying carved dark wood halls and sugar-themed architectural elements.
