Brauhaus, Historic timber-framed building in Syke, Germany
The Brauhaus is a two-story plastered timber-framed structure with a hipped roof located at Waldstraße 78, positioned next to the Vorwerk Syke Art Museum. Its design reflects classic features of Lower Saxon architecture from the 18th century.
The building was erected in 1736 as a brewery for the Syke district, originally serving local beer production purposes. Around 1800 its purpose changed when it became a forester's residence and later part of the state forestry administration.
The building demonstrates traditional craft methods that combined living spaces, storage areas, brewing equipment, and ovens in one structure. This design allowed residents to conduct multiple activities within a single location.
The protected monument is visible from outside and located within walking distance of the nearby art museum, allowing for a combined visit. Its position on a main street of the town makes it easy to locate and access.
The building appears in a 1764 site plan where it is documented alongside eleven other farmsteads, revealing the early settlement pattern of Syke. This historical record makes it an important witness to the village's development from centuries ago.
