Architecture and history

The area of ​​the property served as a Jewish cemetery in the Middle Ages . The Sankt-Annen-Hospital was later located here , which was moved to its current location between the cities 2, 3 in the 15th century. The property fencing that still exists today, made of ashlar, could come from this time.

In the 17th century the area was designed as a pleasure garden. The half-timbered baroque garden house was built around 1740 as a pleasure house, and garden sculptures were also made. The house and the sculptures were based on models from the palace gardens and are the only surviving objects of their kind in Quedlinburg. The grounds included figures from a cycle of the seasons that were created around 1730/40, some of which are now in the monastery garden on the Quedlinburger Schlossberg . The house is covered with a mansard tent roof . In 1968 a major renovation took place, although the interior room layout was largely retained.
