The world famous Weissenhof Estate on Stuttgart's Killesberg is one of the architectural highlights of Stuttgart. One of the estate's most prominent architects was Le Corbusier, whose semidetached house, built in 1927, is described by architecture historians as an icon of modern architecture, uniquely aesthetic, its modern ground plan and minimalistic interior typical of the architectural style of the Weissenhof Estate. Following extensive renovation work on the inside, the façades and the garden, the Le Corbusier House opened its doors to the public on 26th October 2006. For the first time since the Werkbund Exhibition in 1927, architecture enthusiasts now have the opportunity of viewing the interior of an original Weissenhof Estate building.
