Jenisch Haus, Historische Museen Hamburg

The Jenisch Haus is one of the most beautiful historic buildings in Hamburg. Located within extensive parklike gardens on the banks of the Elbe, the south-facing rooms offer wonderful views of the river and passing ships.
It was constructed between 1831 and 1834 in the neoclassical style according to plans by Franz Gustav Forsmann and Karl Friedrich Schinkel.
Today it is the Museum for Art and Culture on the Elbe and boasts impressive state rooms with opulent decorative plasterwork and parquet floors as well as furnishings, paintings and sculptures in the Empire and Biedermeier styles and many temporary exhibitions.
