Weißes Haus, Renaissance Revival villa in Markkleeberg, Germany.

The Weißes Haus stands as a three-story rectangular structure with white plaster facades, featuring rusticated details and classical window arrangements on all sides.

Paul Herfurth commissioned this summer residence in 1896, establishing it within an English-style park that became one of the largest private gardens in Saxony.

The building houses rotating art exhibitions in its foyer, Rosenzimmer, and Buchenzimmer rooms, with new collections displayed three to four times annually.

The villa contains the civil registry office of Markkleeberg and underwent accessibility improvements in 2015 with the addition of an elevator and side ramp.

Six life-sized statues representing Greek muses, created by sculptor Fritz Walter Kunze around 1890, decorate the park-facing terrace of the building.
