The perfect place to dream and enjoy The »Schlangenhaus« at the Luisium

Stay where Louise (1750–1811), wife of Prince Franz, retreated to the peace of nature. At the Luisium on the eastern fringe of Dessau this is still possible!

The »Schlangenhaus« was named thus by the locals due to the shape of its gutters which have the form of snakes. The house was built on a little mound from about 1790 onwards. The brick building, which was inspired by English houses, originally served as a guest house. Its underground vaults were used to store fruit from a nearby plantation.
After the Second World War, the house gradually fell into disrepair. Following the extensive restoration of all rooms, the house has been used as a holiday home since 1996.

Furnishings
During your stay you have at your disposal a fully furnished house suitable for two people, with electric heating in all rooms. Optional additional bedding in the salon can sleep another two. The barrel vaults of the lower ground floor house a kitchen, a separate dining room as well as a bath and toilet. The roof terrace, equipped with garden furniture, offers delightful views across the gardens. The car park is about 250 metres away from the house. Our aim is to help the friends on the Gartenreich to appreciate nature and art. We have therefore deliberately not installed a telephone connection, TV and radio in our guest houses!
