The Broyhan House (Template:Lang-de) is a residential and commercial building constructed in 1576 in Hanover's historic old town (Altstadt). It is the second-oldest preserved half-timbered building in Hanover, and stands on the cellar walls of an earlier building dating to the 14th century.[1] The house is named after Cord Broyhan, [de ][2] a brewer who lived in the earlier building from 1537.[a]
Location and description
Broyhan House is located at 24 Merchant Street (Kramerstraße) amidst a row of historic half-timbered buildings just west of Market Church,[3] in Hanover's old town. Ownership records for the residential and commercial building typical for early Hanover date back to 1428. The majority of owners were merchants (Kramer)[b] who conducted their trade within the building.
Following examination in 1984, the building was restored until 1987. As of 2024[update], it houses a restaurant in the vaulted cellar and on its first two floors, and residents on the upper floors. Broyhan House is a listed architectural monument.
