Villa Urvasi, Heritage monument in Weisser Hirsch, Dresden, Germany.

The Villa Urvasi spans along Lahmannring 17, featuring numerous apartments with balconies and a distinctive early 20th-century reform architectural design.

Max Herfurt constructed the current Villa Urvasi in 1912, replacing an earlier 1880s country house that served the Lahmann Sanatorium until 1940.

The name originates from Hindu mythology, referring to a celestial nymph Urvashi, reflecting global influences in German residential architecture.

Following renovations in 1995, the villa transformed into a senior living facility before housing multiple tenants in separate residential units.

A substantial fire in June 2022 destroyed the roof structure, forcing 38 tenant parties to evacuate their residences in this protected monument.
