About this house

The multi-family house in Nümbrecht-Marienberghausen combines the special charm of a historic half-timbered building from the 18th century with the comfort and energy standards of a modern energy-efficient house. The building’s birth certificate is engraved in oak on the monumental crossbeam above the entrance door:

"built by philip peter milchsack / elisabetha née adolffs anno 1795"

The current owner’s mission is to guide this history into modern times and preserve the historic core of the building for future generations. Through careful renovation of the building, its centuries-old exterior shell has been preserved, while at the same time a light-flooded, modern and uncompromisingly high-quality living space opens up behind the façade. It thus provides an outstanding example of a successful symbiosis between a Bergisches architectural monument from the 18th century and the high-end residential comfort of our time.
