The Huguenot House was built in the early 19th century. Since then, the building has had a turbulent history, marked mainly by cultural use and vacancy. The exhibition Vacant Rooms 2019 was the starting point for permanently transforming the Hugenottenhaus into a house of art and culture.
Since 2019, the artist couple Silvia and Lutz Freyer, with significant support from Udo Wendland, have been managing the Hugenottenhaus with the Art Zone in the centre of Kassel. Each of the more than 20 rooms in the Hugenottenhaus represents a special feature, as most of the works are created directly for the exhibition. Exciting positions lead us to expect an unusual exhibition. In addition to the exhibitions, a diverse education programme is offered.
The museum café "Perle 2"has developed in recent years into an essential part of the art and culture venue with its own programme of events.
