Jacob Hansens hus, 17th-century merchant house in Helsingborg, Sweden
The two-story timber-framed building features red-painted bricks, sculptured brackets, and a high gabled roof covered with red-yellow tiles.
Built in 1641 by merchant Jacob Hansen and his wife Inger Mogensdotter, the house survived the Scanian War between Sweden and Denmark from 1676 to 1679.
The building displays a Latin inscription above its main entrance, reflecting the educational and social status of merchant families in 17th century Sweden.
The structure now functions as a conference and event venue, offering spaces for meetings and celebrations in central Helsingborg.
This house stands as the oldest secular building in Helsingborg and received protected heritage status in 1967.
