Nestled in northwestern Corfu, Paleokastritsa is one of the island's most cherished beauty spots, offering a perfect vantage point to witness the sunset. Don't miss the opportunity to admire the 17th-century monastery and its famous "Tree of Life" carving within. With historical significance intertwined in its landscape, Corfu has been suggested as the mythical island of the Phaeacians, and the bay of Palaiokastritsa as the very place where Odysseus first encountered Nausicaa.

Added in early 2002 as the second main pillar of the Kunstsammlung and accommodating contemporary art was the Ständehaus am Kaiserteich, until 1988 the seat of the Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia. Four wings with continuous arcades surround the building’s central public area, a spacious plaza. The creative treatment of this representative building in the Historicist style (1876-80) by the Munich architectural office of Kiessler + Partner created a modern museum building with a striking glaze domed roof which shapes the building’s aesthetic and at the same time spans an expansive sculpture garden located on the uppermost level. Together, a flexible hall for temporary exhibitions in the ground floor level and the upper galleries comprise more than 5300 m² of surface area. Installations and artist’s rooms are an important focus of the Kunstsammlung, an area which has been expanded continuously in recent years.
