Situated directly on the river Blau while also leaning over it to a
large extent. The ancient fishermen´s house in the picturesque
fishermen´s quarter dating back to 1443, has been well and truly thrown
out of kilter. This happened as early as the 17th century and has two
causes. Firstly, the subsoil gave way to the Blau, secondly the
inhabitants sawed up supporting beams during poor quality conversions. This gave way to the sober realisation that it had led to a distinctly slanted position.
Nobody thought of changing the condition again. In 1995, when it was
time to renovate the curious building and convert it into a cosy guest
house, the historical slant was preserved in keeping with the spirit of
monument preservation and photo souvenir collections. The ›Crooked
House‹ straight again – how disappointing that would have been!
