Architecture and history
The representative two-storey building was erected in 1802 by the secret detective Niethake in the classicism style. The central entrance portal is flanked by columns. The windows on the upper floor are designed as round arches. The ducal kitchen garden was previously located in this area. Duke Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand had given parts of the garden away to civil servants and private individuals for building purposes. A little later Droste Rieche lived in the house. He is said to have hosted the French military leader Joachim Murat as a guest here for one night in October 1806 . Later residents of the house were Legation Councilor von Gruner and Amtsrat Hindersin.
In the 20th century, the building was used to print the social democratic newspaper Harzer Echo and then the National Socialist Harzer Tageszeitung . After the Second World War , the local history museum was housed in the house. It was then used as a children's home and, in the 1980s, as a retirement home. Today it is the seat of the local police station.
In the local register of monuments , the house is listed as a monument under registration number 094 01772 .
