Sauvigny house

The Sauvigny house is a listed building at Steinweg 3 in Brilon .

According to an inscription in the keystone of the garden-side cellar entrance, it was built in 1752. The builder was Johann Matthias Kitz from Hessen . It was built for the trades Adam Eberhard Ulrich.

The house passed from Peter Ulrich, the great-grandson of the builder, to his sister Caroline, who had been married to the tax councilor Joseph Sauvigny from Jülich since 1833. In the middle of the 19th century, the royal Prussian post office was housed on the ground floor of the house. The changing station for the stagecoach horses was in the associated stables.

The house is a two-storey plastered quarry stone building with sandstone structures and a slate, hipped pitched roof with many small roof houses. The interior layout and parts of the furnishings have been preserved to this day. A coach house and a stone farm building complete the property. In the garden at the rear there is a pavilion with a baroque slate dome.

The well-known resident of the house was the Mayor of Brilon, Josef Paul Sauvigny . He was the grandfather of Friedrich Merz . Another was Friedrich Kasimir Kitz , son of the builder. On October 27, 1813, Jérôme Bonaparte , formerly King of Westphalia , stayed here on his flight from Kassel.

A drawing of the floor plan is in the possession of the Sauvigny family.
