Gutshaus Rossin was built in 1836–1837 in a refined classical style inspired by the Schinkel school. It was once described as one of the most beautiful estates in the historic Anklam region. Behind its elegant and understated facade, architectural details such as the central staircase and octagonal glass dome create a surprisingly light-filled interior.

Today, after careful restoration which is still ongoing, the estate has found a new purpose: Rossin is becoming a place for culture, creative exchange and contemporary working. It now hosts events, exhibitions and a co-working concept.

Showing how historic manor houses in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern can be reimagined for modern life while preserving their heritage.

Duderstadt is a paradise for half-timbered architecture lovers. Hidden behind its medieval town walls are more than 600 beautifully preserved half-timbered houses, many dating back several centuries. Narrow streets, intricately decorated facades, and historic squares make the old town one of Germany’s most charming timber-framed destinations.

Half-timbered houses can be found throughout the city, creating a unique atmosphere at every turn. Especially in the historic center, the traditional wooden framework, colorful details, and centuries-old craftsmanship tell the story of Duderstadt’s rich past. Walking through the town feels like stepping into a living open-air museum of architectural history.

Much of the historic layout visible today dates back to the medieval period. The town was protected by strong fortifications, gates, and defensive walls, parts of which still survive. Unlike many historic German towns that were heavily destroyed during World War II, Duderstadt preserved much of its original character, allowing visitors to experience an unusually authentic historic center.

Duderstadt is one of Germany’s most impressive examples of a fully preserved medieval town. With over 600 half-timbered houses, the old town forms a dense and remarkably intact ensemble of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, each building telling its own story through carved beams, inscriptions, and carefully restored façades.

At the center stands the historic Town Hall, one of the oldest in Germany, with its distinctive towers and layered architectural history that reflects different building phases over time.

The 'Zur Tanne' Building is another Highlight. Built in 1689, it is a striking example of late Baroque Fachwerk architecture, known for its richly decorated façade filled with carved ornaments, figurative details, inscription bands, and distinctive diamond and cross-bracing patterns that reflect the craftsmanship of its time.

Historically, the building served as a prestigious inn and later a hotel, making it an important stop for travelers passing through the region. One of its most famous historical associations is that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe is said to have stayed here during his Harz journey in 1777.

Stepping back in time in Duderstadt, one of Germany’s best-preserved medieval towns.

Duderstadt has more than 600 beautifully restored half-timbered houses, many dating back several centuries. Walking through its cobbled streets feels like entering a living history book, where medieval architecture and modern life blend seamlessly.

At the heart of the town stands the historic Rathaus, a striking landmark that has served as the center of civic life for generations. It dates back to the 14th century and is considered one of the oldest town halls in Germany. Over the centuries, it has been expanded and renovated, blending Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements. Together with the colorful half-timbered buildings surrounding the market square, it creates one of the most picturesque townscapes in the region.

Known as the “Pearl of the Eichsfeld,” Duderstadt survived much of history with its architectural heritage intact, making it a hidden gem for lovers of history, culture, and authentic German charm. Every corner tells a story, from its ancient city walls and towers to its lovingly preserved facades that showcase traditional craftsmanship. | Anzeige

Dordrecht is the one of the oldest cities of Holland, which is the area of the two provinces of North and South-Holland combined.

Its picturesque alleyways, beautiful historical city center and more than 1000 monuments give this city a unique appearance and charming ambience.

It still carries its medieval trading history in its architecture. Brick merchant houses, narrow canals, old warehouses, and church towers shaped by centuries of life on the river. The merchants’ houses and warehouses that sprang up along the harbors in the 17th and 18th centuries still dominate the scenery today.
