The Rococo garden house is a listed building in the Nettetal district of Kaldenkirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The house was built in 1760 by the textile manufacturer Johann Hermann Poensgen (1728–1789). The garden house remained in the possession of the Poensgen family until the first half of the 19th century , before it passed into the von der Kuhlen family through marriage through Hermann's granddaughter Paulina Poensgen (1815–1907).
The garden house was last renovated in 2014 with funds from the Sparkassenstiftung Nettetal and the Sparkassenstiftung "Nature and Culture" of the Viersen district.
As a motif by the impressionist August von Brandis
In 1897 August von Brandis married Bertha von der Kuhlen, a woman from Kaldenkirchen. The garden shed was on the property of the in-laws. The young couple stayed very often in the garden shed and the surrounding park. While Bertha von der Kuhlen mostly played music, August von Brandis used the garden shed as a motif. From this he later developed his "Raumbilder" with motifs throughout Germany. The few portraits (mainly of family members) were also made on the building, which he called the "Kaldenkirchen garden house".
