Sommerhaus Von-der-Heydt, Villa on Königshöhe hill in Wuppertal, Germany.

The Von-der-Heydt summer house features stone masonry construction with two towers, combining late 19th-century architectural elements and art nouveau additions from 1907.

August von der Heydt and his wife Selma acquired the property between 1870 and 1880, transforming it into a summer residence with substantial renovations in 1885.

The villa housed numerous significant paintings that later became part of the Von der Heydt Museum collection and welcomed artists like Friedrich von Schennis and Rainer Maria Rilke.

Since 1978, the building has operated as an open printing workshop for etching and lithography, offering space for artistic creation and regular exhibitions.

The property included a popular restaurant establishment at the end of the 19th century, surrounded by forest areas now part of the Burgholz State Forest.
