On the riverfront in the Museumsufer, the Liebieghaus is a sumptuous 19th-century villa containing a sculpture museum.
The Liebieghaus was commissioned by the textile magnate Baron Von Libieg as a retirement home in the 1890s.
Not long after he died the building was acquired by the city and turned into a museum.
It now holds the sculpture collection for Frankfurt’s Städtische Galerie, which was hand-picked at the start of the 20th century to provide an overview of more than 5,000 years of sculpture.
