Kandt House

The museum showcases Rwanda’s colonial era under Germany and the cooperation between the two countries. Kandt House Museum derives its name from Richard Kandt, the German physician and explorer who constructed and resided in the house in 1908, marking the birth of the capital of Kigali. The Kandt House hosts historical products that were seen or used in Rwanda under German rule, such as pictures, songs and texts, which were imported from Germany, where they had been taken after Germany’s colonial era ended in Rwanda.
