Wylre'sches Haus, Baroque architectural ensemble in Aachen, Germany
The Wylre'sches Haus features a facade with blue stone ornaments and multiple architectural elements that reflect regional building traditions from the 17th century.
The residence was built in 1669 by Johann Bertram von Wylre, a former mayor of Aachen, and later renovated by architect Johann Joseph Couven in the 18th century.
The building demonstrates the evolution from noble residence to industrial space, as textile manufacturer Edmund Joseph Kelleter acquired it in 1798 for production purposes.
Located at Jakobstraße 35, the structure maintains its original Rococo interior decorations while the left wing served as a carriage house and production facility.
A fragment of a gravestone from St. Paul's former monastery church, containing remains of the Wylre family, is embedded in the garden wall.
