Schenkbarsches Haus, Cultural heritage monument in Biedenkopf, Germany.

The Schenkbarsches Haus rises as a five-story half-timbered structure with slate-covered gabled roof near the church square in Biedenkopf.

Built before 1254 over a medieval vault with a Romanesque sandstone arch, the house received three additional upper floors in 1610 by Schultheiß Schenkbar.

The building houses a museum collection of antique icons from Russia and Greece dating from the 16th to 19th centuries, along with non-European textiles.

Tours of the Black and White Kitchens and Icon Museum require advance reservations through phone or email, with visits lasting approximately thirty minutes.

This medieval ministerial manor stands as the oldest house in Biedenkopf, having survived multiple city fires throughout its extensive history.
