DE-4262249 The oldest house in Haßloch, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Haßloch is a municipality in the Bad Dürkheim district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Unlike most municipalities in the district, it does not belong to any Verbandsgemeinde – a kind of collective municipality. The municipality has grown out of a single centre and is thus sometimes styled “Germany’s biggest village”.

The oldest house in Haßloch is a three-sided estate from 1599 with a façade that dominates the street and a mighty gate. Since 1986 it has been open to the public as a local history museum and a cultural centre. The house’s interior has been restored and affords a glimpse into living conditions in such a house in its day.
