Villa Baltic, Neoclassical villa in Kühlungsborn, Germany
Villa Baltic is a neoclassical building near Kühlungsborn's beach, distinguished by a round corner tower, curved gable, and facade decorated with pilasters and small balconies. The structure sits within extensive grounds and combines residential spaces with rooms designed for gatherings.
The villa was built in 1912 as a private residence for a Berlin lawyer and designed by architect Alfred Krause. It was later converted to serve educational and recreational functions, reflecting how such buildings adapted to changing needs over time.
The building reflects how affluent families lived by the Baltic Sea in the early 1900s, with spaces designed for both residence and social gatherings. Its architecture shows the taste of that era and the importance such estates held in shaping seaside resort communities.
The grounds are accessible by foot, with pathways through the park allowing views of the building from different angles. The site is best visited on dry days when walking the grounds is most comfortable.
The grounds once contained life-sized bronze statues scattered throughout the park, though these sculptures were removed during World War II. Visitors can still walk where these artworks once stood, imagining how the landscape once looked.
