House of leaders of church institutions

Canon's House, Stiftsherrenhaus, City Museum, Hemeln Museum
Germany, Hameln
The canon's house is located on the Osterstraße street, and it faces it with a wider side. The location of the house emphasizes the high welfare of its customer. The building was built in 1558 for a wealthy merchant and burgomaster of the city, Friedrich Popendik. The owner had nothing to do with the clergy, and the house got its name because of the biblical figures that adorn the facade. The House of the Heads of Church Institutions is connected to the Leist House via a covered walkway and houses the City Museum.

The house of heads of church institutions (Stiftsherrenhaus) was built in the 16th century for one of the members of the municipality. Why the house was called that is unknown, since the owner of the house was not a clergyman at all, but a rich merchant. Perhaps the name of the house was given by the figurines decorating the facade of the house, which are made based on biblical stories. On the ground floor of the building there is a cafe, on the upper floors there is an exposition of the city museum of Hameln.
