Hohenzollernhaus

Erected during 1905 – 1906, the Hohenzollernhaus situated in Swakopmund, is an imposing Victorian building with a high mansard roof, and a relic of the German colonial era. The building was mostly used as a hotel, then became an administrative building, and currently, rooms are rented out to the public. Two extensions flanking the main building were in time partitioned and were sold as sectional title units. The ornate style of the building is neo-baroque, and it contains Renaissance bays, gables, and balconies. The ornate angels, female figures, lions, and masks, as well as the Atlas figure on the top of the front of the building, are in line with Greek mythology and complement the overall standing of the building which was proclaimed as a national monument 1983.
