Yes your home is fantastic. Made of stone I'm guessing ?

I am sure that it costs quite a bit to maintain your house. My wife and I own a house ourselves, built in 1894. If you don't constantly do something yourself there, the house eats the hair off your head. Five years ago we removed our old oil heating system and replaced it with a geothermal heat pump. That was fun. Financially, too. Installing new technology in such an old house is quite an adventure. But we haven't regretted it. It was one of our best decisions in recent years.

Very beautiful, your home.
Thank you Jürgen - it was build in the baroque style - Arnold

Very beautiful, your home.

a very nice plant Arnold, top quality. also noticed the very old & beautiful door mechanism in the background.
the door is walnut from 1721 - 300 year old - the lock maybe younger. Have you noticed the small painting - this was my great great Grandfather 1833 - he was a locksmith...
I did notice the oval painting, we just don't see/have beautiful hardware from that long ago in the States , is the rest of the home of the same age ?
yes - my home was build in 1721 and always in the same family - have a picture from winter 2020/2021
Inside there are many up dates - the best is an elevator... ;D

In very nice condition. Look forward to the rest of the hoard. Did you use a metal detector to find them ? :)
