Czarens Hus, Timber-framed monument in Nykøbing Falster, Denmark

The structure houses museum exhibitions on the upper floor where visitors can examine the timber-framed construction techniques and architectural details up close.
The building was constructed around 1690 and received its name following Russian Tsar Peter the Great's visit with his fleet in 1716. This significant event marked the house as a notable landmark in local history and shaped its identity for centuries to come.
The building houses Falsters Minder museum, displaying regional artifacts and memorial plaques that document visits from Russian nobility and Danish royalty. This reflects the area's historic role as a destination for distinguished visitors.
Visitors can view the building's exterior and admire the traditional timber-framing details and distinctive architecture at close range. The location in the old town center is easily accessible on foot and ideal for combining with other nearby historic sites.
During restoration work in 1898, workers discovered a silver coin from 1689, confirming the estimated construction period of the building. This accidental find provided concrete evidence about the house's actual age.
