Haus Orr

Haus Orr is a two-story manor house in Pulheim with tower-like corner structures that resemble Gothic castle architecture. The building sits within a landscaped garden and combines historical appearance with interior spaces designed for different uses.

The site was first mentioned in 1264 as Urre, but the current manor house was built around 1838 by banker Peter Daniel Koch. The design came from Ernst Friedrich Zwirner, a master builder of Cologne Cathedral, who created the neo-Gothic style of the building.

The interior shows exposed wooden beams and original fireplaces that date back to when the house was built. These details shape how the rooms feel and reflect the way people lived here.

The property is straightforward to navigate, with clear pathways connecting different areas of the house and garden. Visitors should allow time to explore both the interior spaces and the outdoor grounds.

The roof was completely replaced in 2013 with a traditional hipped roof design that enhances the neo-Gothic character. This renovation allowed the structure to be preserved while meeting modern needs.
