Residences

The residences of the artist around the world reflect his affection for historic mansions and country homes. Some of the buildings t led a miserable existence before Rainer Maria Latzke rediscovered and restored them to their former splendor. When designing the interior he is supported by his wife Doris, who places more importance on comfort rather than the representation and design them to well accepted venues for the whole  family, which includes three children, four grandchildren and three dogs.

Gut Stepprath

When his career began to pick up in the 80s Latzke acquired the Gut Stepprath, a beautiful Mansion near to Aachen in West Germany.

Chateau Thal

In 1986 Rainer Maria Latzke acquired the Belgian Chateau Thal and transformed the former ancestral seat of the counts of the Grand Ry with its beautiful parks into an atmospheric residence for him and his family and a showcase of his art. In the adjacent studios he taught numerous apprentices who later opened their own studios and passed on their skills to other apprentices. Thereby, the studios of Chateau Thal can be considered as the birthplace of the revival of mural painting in modern interior design.

Malibu

In 1990, after ten years rich in work and success, Latzke indulged himself a break. In the former home of Hollywood actor Nick Nolte in Malibu, California, his family found the ideal retreat to enjoy and relax.

Villa St. Pancrace

In 1995 Latzke bought the provincial Villa “St. Pancrace” over the roofs of Nice at the Cote d´Azur and transformed it into a spacious and lively guesthouse for his family and his international guests.

Villa Paradou

In 1998 Latzke acquired the “Villa Paradou”, the former residence of the Oscar winning inventor of the Cinemascope technique Henri Chretien. Built by famous architect and builder of the Paris opera, Charles Garnier, this mansion is considered a landmark at the Cote d´Azur.  It is located in the hills near to Monte Carlo and offers a beautiful view over Cap Ferrat and the Mediterranean Sea. The spacious park houses a gazebo designed by famous constructor Gustave Eiffel, the builder of the Eiffel Tower.
