Gotisches Haus

The Gotisches Haus is a late Gothic brick building with characteristic red walls and pointed arches. It consists of two originally separate house sections that were later united under a single roof.

The building was constructed in 1452 and initially stood as two independent structures side by side. Their unification under a common roof occurred in the early 18th century.

The house shows how people lived in medieval times through its rooms and the exhibition in the basement displaying everyday objects and finds from that era. Visitors can see how residents worked and lived within such a building.

The building can be visited on certain weekdays with varying opening hours throughout the week. There is a free exhibition in the basement accessible to visitors of all ages.

The basement lies four meters below street level yet remains dry despite immediate proximity to the Havel River. This demonstrates the remarkable engineering knowledge of medieval builders.
