Houses of Art

Derneburg Castle – for almost a thousand years a place where art is created. Once a monastery, it soon became the largest private art museum in Europe. One of Germany's most important painters, Georg Baselitz, lived and worked here. Since 2006, Derneburg has belonged to the collector couple Andrew and Christine Hall. They are transforming the castle into Europe's largest private museum of contemporary art.

Claude Monet's house in Giverny is a place that continues to captivate people to this day: He moved in here as a penniless painter with his patchwork family of ten and became a world-renowned artist. The garden he created here, which served as inspiration for countless works, still fascinates people today.
