Rotes Haus, 18th-century timber-framed house museum in Monschau, Germany
The red-painted building spans three floors and features thirteen furnished rooms displaying the lifestyle of a wealthy cloth-making merchant family.
Johann Heinrich Scheibler constructed this residence around 1760 to serve as both a trading center and living quarters for his textile enterprise.
The museum exhibits 6000 cloth patterns in preserved books, demonstrating the textile manufacturing processes and trade across Europe during the 18th century.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00, with entrance fees of 5 euros for adults.
A carved oak staircase winds through three floors, decorated with 21 putti figures illustrating different stages of cloth production.
