Villa Böhm, Cultural heritage villa in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, Germany
Villa Böhm is a residential villa built in Italian Neorenaissance style using sandstone with ornate stucco decorations throughout its interior rooms. The building now functions as a museum, event venue, and cultural center for the community.
The villa was designed and built in 1886 by architect Ludwig Levy for banker Adolf Dacqué. It later became the residence of the wine trading family Hoch-Böhm, from whom it takes its name.
The city museum housed within presents exhibitions on local history and rotating displays that document regional developments over time.
The building operates as a museum, wedding venue, and cultural event space with regular performances in the surrounding park. Visitors should plan to explore outdoor areas during good weather, as theater productions and events take place there.
The garden preserves a gravestone from 1411 that belonged to a papal representative from the collegiate church of the town. This stone reveals that the garden once served as a burial ground in earlier centuries.
