Bügeleisenhaus - Germany

 I've never heard about Hattingen before but after googling about it, I'm pretty sure I might like it. My kind of place, small but lots to see. 

Hattingen is a 600 years old town in North Rhine-Westphalia. Its 150 half-timbered houses and the small winding street, make it a town full of charm. 

The most famous half-timbered house is the Bügeleisenhaus, located at Haldenplatz.

The 17th-century half-timbered house is a sight in itself: its façade is adorned with scrolled brackets, carved sun wheels, and fearsome "envy masks," while the interior also offers interesting exhibits for visitors. Cloth makers lived and worked here between 1771 and 1856, and a butcher's shop operated on the ground floor until 1907.
