Imagine the late 1800s. Elegantly dressed guests stroll through the gardens. Haus Carstanjen was once the home of Gustav von Carstanjen, a successful businessman and diplomat. His family was famous for hosting grand parties that went on until the early hours. Today, you can admire the intricate details on the façade, a reminder of its illustrious past. To the south, you’ll spot the Stimson Memorial Chapel, another historical gem in the area. And just southeast, you can find the von Carstanjen Mausoleum, the final resting place of this influential family. Imagine the stories these walls could tell.
