Michaelishaus, Timber-framed house in central Göttingen, Germany
The Michaelishaus features baroque timber framework construction atop a natural stone cellar base, with a south-facing facade along Prinzenstraße displaying classical architectural elements.
Built between 1735 and 1737 as Londonschänke, the building served as a prestigious lodging house during the inauguration of the University of Göttingen in September 1737.
The house became an educational space after 1764 when Johann David Michaelis acquired it, hosting lectures and providing accommodations for university students.
Located opposite the Historical Building of the State and University Library, the structure underwent complete renovation in 2006 and maintains its original architectural features.
Benjamin Franklin, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and three British royal princes were among the notable figures who visited this academic gathering place.
