One of the great modern day architects designed a matching pair of villas which were built in Krefeld. These are open to the public - being used nowadays as a museum / art gallery.

I drove to Krefeld for one day visit and all I saw was a stormy rain. I'm glad I got home safe as that weekend 4 people got killed in this storm.
