Schöningh House, Renaissance building in Norden, Germany.

The Schöningh House features alternating layers of red brick and light limestone, creating a distinctive pattern across its three-story facade.

Built in 1576 by merchant Egbert Crayers, the building received its current name from Wilhelm Peter Schöningh, who purchased it in 1869.

The sandstone decorations on the stepped gable display three of Hercules's twelve labors, representing Renaissance architectural traditions in East Frisia.

Located at Osterstraße 5 in Norden, the building underwent extensive restoration work after structural concerns emerged in 1963.

The cross-mullioned windows incorporate shell-shaped sandstone crowns, demonstrating the Dutch influence on East Frisian architecture of the period.
