Guided Story
Imagine stepping into a building that's been part of this city's fabric for nearly 300 years. Just to your left is the magnificent Palais Stutterheim, originally built for nobility. Did you know it was almost demolished in the 1970s? Instead, it became a sanctuary for contemporary art. Look around and feel the history these walls hold. You might even sense whispers of the past while you explore the modern exhibits. Glance upwards to see the intricate ceiling, providing an intriguing contrast to the contemporary installations. Behind you, towards the Huguenot Church, you can sense the influence of French settlers who left their mark on this city.
