Tuckesburg, Historical building near the old zoo in Münster, Germany
The Tuckesburg building stands on a small hill between Promenade, Himmelreichallee, and Hüfferstrasse, featuring residential architecture from the late 19th century.
Built in 1892, the Tuckesburg served as the residence of Hermann Landois until his death, with potential medieval fortification remains beneath its foundation.
Hermann Landois, who called himself Count Tucks, lived in the building with his pet monkey Lehmann next to the zoological garden he established.
Located at Hüfferstrasse 18, the Tuckesburg underwent renovations in 1967 after its acquisition by the city of Münster and continues to function as a residential building.
The building's name origin remains undocumented, while its location might contain remnants of a medieval motte-and-bailey castle that existed outside the city walls.
