The Langen Foundation building is an architectural gem located on the site of the former NATO missile station Hombroich in Neuss. The futuristic building was designed by the Japanese architect Tadao Andō and blends harmoniously into the surrounding nature. It consists of a combination of smooth concrete walls, generous glass surfaces and curved lines that create a unique aesthetic. It houses an impressive art collection and functions as an art and cultural centre at the same time. It offers an inspiring space for contemporary art exhibitions, lectures and cultural events.
