Mönchstraße 13, Medieval merchant house in Stralsund, Germany

The three-story gabled building features a curved pediment, Gothic fire walls, and an arched portal connecting to a spacious entrance hall.

The structure dates back to 1320 during the Hanseatic League period, making it one of the oldest merchant houses along the Baltic Sea coast.

The building now serves as a cultural history museum, presenting multiple architectural styles including Gothic, Baroque, Rococo, and Classicism elements.

The Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz invested 1.6 million euros in the restoration project between 1996 and 1999 to prevent the building's collapse.

The property contains a functioning wooden hoist mechanism from medieval times, recognized as one of the earliest surviving examples in Northern Europe.
