Degodehaus, Medieval timber-framed house in central Oldenburg, Germany

The Degodehaus features traditional timber construction methods with exposed wooden beams supporting both exterior walls and interior structural elements.

Built in 1502, this timber-framed residence stands as the sole survivor of the devastating city fire that swept through Oldenburg in 1676.

The ceiling painting from 1645 displays detailed representations of four continents, reflecting geographical knowledge and artistic styles of the period.

The building, located at Markt 24, currently operates as a shoe store and welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday during regular business hours.

Hidden beneath a stucco surface for over 200 years, the original continental ceiling paintings were discovered and restored in 1992.
