Großes Haus von Aachen, Historic building in Pontstraße, Aachen, Germany
The Großes Haus features a rounded arch gateway entrance on the ground floor and continuous cornice bands that divide the street front horizontally.
Built in 1495 by magistrate Heinrich Dollart, the structure combined two older residential houses, with parts of their original cellars still preserved today.
Since 1931, the building houses the International Newspaper Museum, which underwent transformation into a multimedia center with exhibition spaces in 2011.
The building stands at Pontstraße 13 in central Aachen, with its anthracite-colored walls constructed from both blue stone and brick materials.
The Großes Haus survived the devastating fire of 1656 relatively unscathed, making it one of the few remaining stone houses from that period in Aachen.
