In the park from magic plants surrounded block. Following the tortuous path you can find on the narrow side the entrance: A white portico with 3 doors of which two are bricked only the middle one is open. Attentive hikers could remember to have seen this plant not far from here. It is the idiosyncratic portal of the northern gate where the Brothers Grimm long lived - here in the lush foliage the poured concrete replica. The rooms inside follow in their tight arrangement the principle of the spacious villa: from the entrance to the large lobby from there on the stairway down to Grimm laboratory and in the fairy world. They are grouped around a funnel-shaped courtyard, to the firmly established treasury is a free area of awaiting the interpretive installations by artists. Upstairs the area for special and multifunctional art. A large 'sky room' whose walls and vaulted ceiling is littered with punched openings for light. Filter outer plant leaves daylight to narrow flashes, a large opening in the center reveals the sky as an abstract disk.
