Krefeld villa - exterior

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. Even if you have no interest in modern architecture, these are still well worth a visit. Remember these houses were built between 1927 and 1930, survived WW2 and still look wonderful today.

Build in 1975 it was a completely new way of keepeing apes. There is for instance no glass between the visitors and the apes. Great opportunity to take pictures. Then there is the heat and the condition of the air. Nowadays , it is all a bit dated and small. pitty. But the zoo is always in movement...

Krefelder zoo isn't a verry large zoo , but it sure diserves a visit. 13 hectares - 1200 animals in 230 species. And there are some special ones among them. The zoo has special attention for animals out off south america and was pioneer by the new apes-house build in 1975.

But read more about it at my other tips...

 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.
