Dom-Beguinen-Haus, Medieval religious house in Havelberg, Germany

The Dom-Beguinen-Haus is the name of two separate two-story residential buildings in Havelberg. The older one stands at An der Freiheit 1 in the Domfreiheit; a building on that spot housed seven Beguines until 1558, and the present house was built around the 18th century. The second, a red brick building at Müllertor 5, was erected in 1893 and bears the inscriptions 1658 (mistakenly for 1558), Dom Beguinen Haus and 1893 on its facade.

The older house at An der Freiheit 1 stands on the site of a building inhabited by seven Beguines until 1558, after which the Dom-Hospital-Stiftung used it to shelter poor people. A new building replaced it around the 18th century and served as a workshop in the 20th century. The house at Müllertor 5 was built in 1893 for single elderly women and sold to a private owner around 1993; the proceeds revived the evangelical Dom-Hospital-Stiftung, which has since funded church projects.

The red brick house at Müllertor 5 carries three inscriptions on its facade: "1658" (an error for 1558), "Dom Beguinen Haus" and "1893". The mistaken date keeps the memory of the seven Beguines who lived at An der Freiheit 1 until 1558 attached to the later building.

The two buildings are located in central areas of Havelberg and are visible from the street, with the red brick structure being particularly noticeable. Visitors can explore the facades and view the historical inscriptions without needing special access.

The red brick facade at Müllertor 5 carries the inscription 1658, but this is an error for 1558, the year the seven Beguines left the older house at An der Freiheit 1. The same facade also reads "Dom Beguinen Haus" and 1893.
