Villa Dessauer

The Villa Dessauer features architectural details characteristic of nineteenth century residential buildings, with symmetrical windows and decorative stone elements throughout its facade.

Carl Dessauer, a Jewish merchant, constructed this mansion in 1884, but the property was later confiscated during the National Socialist period in Germany.

Since 1987, the villa serves as an exhibition space where local and international artists display their works in a series of rotating contemporary art shows.

The gallery opens Thursday through Sunday from 12:00 to 18:00, with regular admission at 6 euros and free entry for visitors under 18 years old.

The rapid art program allows artists to use the villa spaces between major exhibitions for spontaneous, short-term presentations of their work.
