Tintenpalast

The gardens are great for picnics and a quiet stroll. unfortunately the drought has effected some areas. The Tinten Palast is where the Namibian Parliament is held, so access to the inside of the building is restricted. You can still view the layout of the gardens from the top of the stairs

Windhoek is a very big capital city of Namibia.

The former German administrative building, "Tintenpalast" ("palace of ink") was built in 1913 at the cost of 414 888.84 Mark. In 1931 the Municipality of Windhoek undertook the laying out of the gardens in front of the building. During 1932 some 300 Olive trees were planted. These days the gardens are poorly maintained and a certainly not what they used to be. They are nevertheless still worth a visit.

The Tintenpalast is the Parliarment of Namibia, the National Council and the National assembly are here. The Building ready to move in in 1913. It is also quite easy to find because it is next to the Christus Church near the Robert Mugabe Avenue. Also there is a big garden around the Tintenpalast which is quite nice.

It have one of the best view of the city, surely and the surrounding is great. It is popular with tourist. Built during the German colonialisation of the country. Apart from being a colonialist construct, it is a beauty.

Vintage colonial architecture. Tintenpalast - German for "Palace of Ink", nickname given to Parliament that sits far from ordinary people on the top of the hill.
