Hilchenhaus, Renaissance monument in Lorch, Germany
The Hilchenhaus stretches three stories high with a stone facade, featuring a monumental front facing the Rhine River and a square stair tower.
Field Marshal Johann Hilchen von Lorch commissioned the building between 1546 and 1548, though he did not survive to witness its completion.
The Renaissance structure stands as the most significant architectural example within the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
The building houses a restaurant, cultural event hall, and tourist information center following an extensive renovation completed in 2014.
Two substantial columns support a two-story oriel window, while a four-story stepped gable with lunette and volutes adorns the facade.
