Villa Horion, Neoclassical governmental building in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Villa Horion features symmetrical architecture with ornamental designs and sculptures created by Düsseldorf artist Hermann Nolte in the early 20th century.

Between 1945 and 1956, the villa served as an officers' mess for British forces before becoming the residence of North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister until 1999.

The permanent exhibition House of Parliamentary History presents seventy years of democracy in North Rhine-Westphalia through guided tours and preserved cabinet rooms.

The building stands at Johannes-Rau-Platz, near the Rhine River and Apollo Varieté theater, with two commemorative sculptures decorating its entrance.

The villa contains an original cabinet room with a round table and teakwood relief displaying the administrative divisions of North Rhine-Westphalia from that period.
