Troistorff house
The Troistorff house in Monschau is a listed residential building in North Rhine-Westphalia .
description
The half-timbered building on bluestone plinth was built in 1783 by an unknown builder. It is unlikely that it could have been the Aachen architect Jakob Couven . The noble street facade has an architectural structure of plastered half-timbering in the style of Louis- Seize , the central risalit is characterized by a two - flight flight of stairs with wrought-iron grating, a balcony carried by hermes and a heraldic gable. Inside, the floating main staircase is important, and there are also doors, paneling and landscape wallpaper from the construction period in a room on the ground floor.
The building, which today houses the wedding room of the registry office of the city of Monschau, is one of the houses of the fine cloth makers from the second half of the 18th century that burst the framework of traditional town house architecture.
In 1999 a retrospective by the painter August von Brandis was shown in the house .
