Villa Streccius, Heritage villa in Landau in der Pfalz, Germany
Villa Streccius is a residential building with an art gallery in Landau in der Pfalz and displays features from around 1890 with tall windows, ornate moldings, and a symmetrical facade. Inside, exhibition rooms occupy multiple floors and are regularly reconfigured.
The building was constructed in the late 19th century as a residence for a notary and was designed by a well-known Karlsruhe architect. After the Second World War, French occupation forces used it before it was later converted into a gallery.
The villa serves today as an art gallery and shows how local artists and the city administration share the space. Visitors see how the building uses its rooms for changing exhibitions and has become a gathering place for art enthusiasts.
The location is easily accessible on foot from the city center and has parking nearby. The rooms are bright and well accessible, with information about each exhibition available on site.
A university uses rooms on the upper floor for teaching and research in art science. This connects the building with current academic life and creates an unexpected mix of public gallery and university space.
