Audio Guide of Rizzi House

Rizzi House currently functions as a private office building, so the interior is not usually open to the general public. However, you can freely admire its spectacular and colorful exterior façade 24 hours a day, any day of the week.

It is completely free! Since it is an attraction enjoyed from the public space in Ackerhof Square, you do not need to buy a ticket or reserve entry. It is an affordable and essential stop on your route through Brunswick.

As this is an exterior visit, I recommend setting aside between 15 and 30 minutes. That is enough time to walk around the building, appreciate the eye-shaped window details, and take amazing photos without rushing.

Opened in 2001, it was designed by Pop Art artist James Rizzi and architect Konrad Kloster to bring happiness and optimism to the urban landscape. It is known as the 'happiest house in the world' and represents a unique dialogue between modern art and the historic setting.

To capture the building’s truly vibrant essence, try to visit on a sunny day around midday. Natural light makes the pop colors stand out beautifully against the blue sky, creating the perfect contrast for your photos.

Yes, the house is located in a flat, paved public square that is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. Even without entering the building, the full outdoor viewing experience is barrier-free.

You are right next to the historic Magniviertel district, famous for its traditional half-timbered houses. Schloss Arkaden shopping center and St. Magni Church are also just a short walk away.

Do not limit yourself to just one side of the building; walk all the way around it to appreciate the striking contrast between the area’s medieval architecture and Rizzi’s cartoon-like style. And if you love art, bring our audio guide to understand every symbol on the façade.
