The pulpit

The old half-timbered house takes its name "d'r Preëdigsjtool" - the pulpit - from the original typical staircase of six steps that led to the front door. The building has a beautiful vaulted cellar, which is made of field boulders and Nievelsteiner sandstone. According to tradition, the house must date from before 1700 and is the work of a true craftsman, who managed to distribute the burdens and forces in such a way that it could remain standing for hundreds of years. In the attached harvest facade there is an oak wooden beam with the year 1631.
During the restoration of the cellar, seven old coins from the first half of the 17th century were found.
Since the youngest coin was minted in 1656, they could not have been hidden before that year, but also not much later. The house was crooked over the years. It was jacked up inch by inch and after more than two days it was straight again.
