Ständehaus (Düsseldorf)

 museum, listed building / architectural heritage, art museum / art gallery

Between 1876 and 1880, the government in Berlin granted permission for the building of the Ständehaus as the parliament and administrative building of the Rhenish Provincial Council. The Cologne architect Julius Raschdorff was commissioned with the design of the neo-Renaissance-style building and he gave careful consideration to the forms of the park. As a result, the architecture and parkland are so successfully unified that the state custodian declared the Ständehaus and the adjoining park a joint conservation area. www.duesseldorf-tourismus.de/en/sights/parks/staendehau...
