Haus Monheim, Heritage monument in Altstadt, Aachen, Germany
Located at Hühnermarkt 17, this brick building features five window bays, prominent stone facades, and a mansard roof covered with slate tiles.
The structure originated in 1663 on foundations of the former city weighing house, which burned down in 1656 during the great city fire.
The building displays the signature architectural elements of Jakob Couven, featuring large latticed windows and intricate stonework reflecting regional construction methods.
The house stands near the city hall at coordinates 50.7757 latitude and 6.085 longitude, making it accessible for visitors exploring central Aachen.
The entrance door's transom grille bears the monogram of Andreas Monheim, who commissioned the building's renovation in Rococo style during 1783.
