Haus Woord, Heritage monument in Bocholt, Germany.

The two-story neoclassical mansion features brick and sandstone construction with replicas of ancient god statues decorating its courtyard entrance.

Built between 1792 and 1795 by tax director Joseph von Raesfeld, the building was later purchased by textile manufacturer Ludwig Schwartz in 1827.

The original statues of Diana, Aurora, Apollo, and Mercury, created by Johann Mauritz Gröninger around 1700, represent major secular sculptures of Westphalia.

While the interior contains private residences and a law firm, visitors can observe the exterior architecture and courtyard without entrance fees.

The century-old horse chestnut trees along the mansion's axis are gradually being replaced with silver linden trees since 2007.
