The Jenisch House is a neoclassical villa set in a landscaped park high above the Elbe in the western Hamburg district of Othmarschen. Built in the 1830s for a wealthy Hamburg senator and merchant banker, it was designed with input from the Prussian architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Its elegant rooms, restored with period furnishings, illustrate the domestic culture of the city's patrician class in the nineteenth century. The surrounding English-style Jenischpark rolls down toward the riverbank with old trees and river views.
