Villa Cuno

Imagine hearing the clatter of horse hooves on cobblestones right where you're standing. This is where the mayor of Hagen, Willi Cuno, once welcomed his distinguished guests. Take a moment to admire that stunning façade—it was designed by none other than Peter Behrens, a pioneer of modern architecture. And did you know Walter Gropius, who later founded the Bauhaus, was in charge of the construction here? Step back a bit and look at the beautifully crafted windows. This villa was more than just a home; it was a beacon of a new architectural era. Today, the laughter of children fills its halls, keeping the spirit of the house very much alive.
