Künstlerhaus Exter mit Garten, Art museum and garden in Feldwies, Übersee, Germany.
Künstlerhaus Exter is a converted farmhouse with residential sections and two neo-gothic loggias that now serve as exhibition spaces. The rooms display paintings and sculptures alongside original furnishings, showing how the artist organized his creative and domestic life.
Julius Exter, a founder of the Munich Secession movement, purchased this centuries-old farmhouse in 1902 and redesigned it as his home and studio. The transformation reflected his shift toward modernist approaches in painting during the early 20th century.
The house preserves the artistic legacy of Julius Exter in the spaces where he actually worked and lived. Visitors see his paintings in their original setting, experiencing the direct connection between his life and creative practice.
The house is open only in summer, during special exhibitions, so check the exhibition season before travelling. The site is managed by the Bavarian Palace Administration. The garden can be visited alongside the gallery rooms.
The house is a 500-year-old former farmstead, the "Stricker" property, which Exter bought in 1902; the residential wing's ridge beam is inscribed with the year 1826, and he converted the farm section into a studio in 1904. Since 1980 it has served as a gallery and museum.
