Amidst the picturesque surroundings of Lake Constance, the venerable Lindau City Museum, a classic gem nestled on Lindau Island, readies for a grand reopening following a meticulous six-year, 33 million euro renovation! Known by art connoisseurs as the "Haus zum Cavazzen", this Museum's architectural beauty and historical charm beckon millions of tourists annually, enthralling them with its Baroque elegance. From 2023, visitors shall once again bask in the resplendent aura of this reaffirmed cultural haven.
Historically, esteemed art historian Georg Dehio (1850-1932), applauding its splendor, lauded the Cavazzen as one of the most magnificent bourgeois houses in the Lake Constance region. Pre-renovation, the building was visibly decaying, its foundation settling, roof ailing, and basement damp from neglect. Now, the Cavazzen dons a revitalized visage, ready to captivate and inspire for years to come.
In addition to physical restoration, the Museum's permanent exhibition has been breathed new life. The historical narrative of Lindau unfolds through a multimedia time machine, letting visitors traverse the centuries in mere moments. As part of future plans, the Museum students, teachers, and researchers by focusing on the tumultuous NS period, which profoundly shaped the region's history.
Come summer 2026, the annually acclaimed art special exhibitions on Classical Modernism will once again ascend the hallowed halls of the Lindau City Museum. Renowned artists like Picasso, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, and Andy Warhol will reclaim their once-honored space, drawing tens of thousands of visitors eager to immerse themselves in the creative tapestry of the past and present.
Just days into this new exciting chapter, Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder (CSU) is scheduled to attend an official ceremony marking the Museum's reopening. Over the weekend, Lindau will transform into a vibrant festival brimming with concerts, Italian-themed cuisine, and a video installation projected onto the Cavazzen's enchanting facade.
The Cavazzen, built in the 1720s after a city fire, follows plans conceived by Swiss architect Jakob Grubenmann. Its stunning façade, highlighted with gilding and curving hipped roof, is unmistakable to all who behold its opulent grace. The name "Cavazzen" has been linked to the "de Kawatz" family, who hailed from Lombardy and once proudly called Lindau's land their own.
Lorded over by intricately painted walls, once-obscured ceiling frescoes, and shining gilding, the Cavazzen carriess the spirit of its illustrious past while embracing the essence of modernity. The Museum has been preserved, updated, and enhanced – a labor of love echoing Lindau's eternal allure.
