Directions & Parking facilities
- The official, free visitor parking lot for the Junkerhaus Museum is located at Hamelner Straße 66 (next to “Hexen-Pizza” and across from the Combi-Markt). It is about 200 to 250 meters from the Junkerhaus (about a 3- to 5-minute walk).
More information
- The two-story half-timbered building with brick infill on a brick base stands on a hill along Hamelner Straße. The artist Karl Junker designed the plans. The house was built by Lemgo-based master carpenter Karl Schirneker and his team between 1889 and 1891.
The Junker House has a square floor plan with sides measuring 9.46 meters and four facades arranged with axial symmetry. The house is notable for its many windows.
The building derives its unusual appearance from its richly carved architectural ornamentation. It covers the facades like stucco and divides them according to a strictly symmetrical scheme using pilasters, entablatures, and cornices.
