Villa Wieser

Villa Wieser (Helmut Dudenhöffer)

Villa Wieser regularly hosts art exhibitions, concerts, wedding receptions, wedding ceremonies, and other cultural events. The main hall seats approximately 80 people, and the glass foyer provides a beautiful setting for standing receptions. The villa is beautifully nestled in a park with mature trees and a stream in the heart of Herxheim. In the front area is a picturesque fountain featuring bronze figures designed by Gernot Rumpf; in the summer, it’s a popular destination thanks to the ice cream parlor. Thanks to a wheelchair-accessible ramp, the villa is fully accessible, both in the foyer and in the main hall.
