Sepp had acquired the property in 1854 from the property of Georg Pschorr . It was destroyed by bombs in World War II and replaced by a new building between 1949 and 1951.

construction

The five-story house with only three window axes stood in the eaves position to the street. "With the crenellated eaves and corner turrets, the bizarre building of the fanatical religious zealot was soon popularly known as 'Castle Zion'." The facade was decorated with figures of Albertus Magnus , Wolfram von Eschenbach , Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling and Joseph von Görres and on A patriotic slogan was attached to the entrance. The rooms were grouped around an octagonal forecourt and the floors were only connected by a spiral staircase. The planned house chapel was not realized. The house had a "furniture adapted to the style" and an important private collection of German and Italian medieval paintings. The trade press was mostly derogatory about the building. Elements of the facade design were taken up in the (preserved) Blum residential building .
