Jenisch House

Hamburg, Germany

Jenisch House (Jenisch-Haus) is a country house in Hamburg built in the 19th century and an example of Hanseatic lifestyle and neoclassical architecture. As of 2008, Jenisch House is the home of the Museum für Kunst und Kultur an der Elbe.

Jenisch House is located in Jenisch Park, Hamburg's oldest landscaped park. The park was landscaped by Caspar Voght as a model farm and arboretum about 1800. It is located in the former independent locality of Klein Flottbek, now part of the Othmarschen quarter of Hamburg with a view toward the Elbe river. In 1828 Jenisch bought the farm and gardens from Voght and redesigned the area with the construction of his house.

Perfect location. Good view. I really like this place.

I give one star just because of the the lady who works at Museum cafe. She was extremely rude to her young colleague and humiliated her in front of customers by creating unnecessary stress. This was really not acceptable. However, we loved the cakes - premium quality!

Nice view, park and house. The pieces of furniture look really great and reconditioned. The are some paintings too, mostly portraits. The tapestry on the ground floor looks shriveled here and there. The entrance to the park is free, there were people jogging or walking their dogs. Friendly staff.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
