Herrenhaus Walkenried, Historical building in Walkenried, Germany.

The Herrenhaus Walkenried stands near the Walkenried Monastery, featuring a grand wooden staircase and restored slate tile roof with natural stone base.

Built in 1854, the Herrenhaus served as a residence and administrative building for monastery domain tenants until the 1970s before changing ownership multiple times.

The building houses the UNESCO World Heritage Information Center, displaying a 3D model landscape that shows the West Harz cultural transformation over 3000 years.

Visitors can access the Herrenhaus Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, with the Tourist Information Office located on the ground floor.

Restoration work uncovered hidden historical wallpapers and friezes depicting local wildlife that had been painted over throughout the building's existence.
