Villa am Greisbachsee

The formerly vacant house between Monheim and Baumberg was built in the 1950s on the banks of the Greisbachsee lake and has recently been made available to the Monheim Triennale as a residency. In the fall of 2023, the house was renovated and now serves as a residence for the international artists who come to Monheim am Rhein.

Festival director Reiner Michalke: “We are very happy to have the “Villa” as a venue for artistic work for the first time. The villa is an ideal location for accommodating musicians, as it is both close to the city center and secluded by the lake. We now have the opportunity to invite international guests over a longer period of time and thus contribute to the further development of Monheim as a city of culture.”

In regular house concerts and artist talks, artists give the audience an insight into their practice. Previous guests have included Peter Evans with his trio, Anushka Chkheidze and Shannon Barnett.
