Mahler Villa, a key protected building in Shanghai, is located in the city center of Shanghai. It is a Nordic Norwegian-style building built by British Jewish businessman Eric Mahler based on his daughter's dream. The exterior walls of Mahler Villa are inlaid with Taishan bricks, while the surrounding walls are topped with Chinese glazed tiles and built with refractory bricks. The entrance, foyer and staircase of the house have the charm of Baroque architecture. As for interior decoration, the corridors and hallways are equipped with wainscoting, and there are exquisite carvings everywhere. The interior dome is equipped with stained glass, which makes the colors colorful and soft under the sunlight. The Mahler House is open to the public all day and all year round.
It is easily accessible by transportation, and you can now dine and stay there to experience the ancient architectural style of Shanghai.
