Nassau-Oranischer Amtshof (Wehrheim)
.jpg)
The property at Hauptstrasse 21 in Wehrheim was originally the Nassau-Oranische Amtshof . As a cultural monument, it is under monument protection.
The Wehrheim office had been dual in the HRR . The rulers were on the one hand the Catholic Kurtrier and the Protestant Nassau-Dillenburg , later Orange. The denominational difference, in particular, led both parties to vigorously defend their rights. There was therefore a Catholic and a Protestant church, a Kurtrier and a Nassau bailiff and, accordingly, a Kurtrier and a Nassau Amthof.
The Nassau-Oranische Amthof was built in 1711 under the (Nassau) bailiff Johann Thomas Thomae directly opposite the (Protestant) church. It is a three-story plastered building with a three-axis facade and a gable roof . In the 19th century, a cast-iron balcony was attached in the middle .
