The Old Court Gardener's House was built for court gardener Christian Daniel Friedrich Klett. He received the property as a gift from the Grand Duke. It is an essential part of the former palace nursery with its preserved buildings.
The court gardener's house in Schwerin was built in 1839 on the initiative of the Grand Duke and completed by Georg Adolph Demmler. The construction work was completed in 1840. The later court garden director Theodor Klett used the surrounding property not only to provide for his family, but also to grow rare roses and perennials, which made the garden more important.
The one-and-a-half-storey residential building is characterized by a hipped roof and is surmounted by a central, two-storey round gable, which is decorated with an integrated column and a tympanum. This round gable marks the prestigious entrance and emphasizes the importance of the building as the residence of a court official. The Hofgärtnerhaus is therefore not only a functional, but also an architecturally appealing part of the historic townscape.
The villa is privately owned.
