Heineken House

The Heineken House in Bremen, Germany, is a historic building renowned for having the city's oldest painted wooden ceiling. Originally renovated in 1579, it features a medieval core with an exterior dating back to 1744. Named after mayor Christian Abraham Heineken, the house played a role in the town's defortification in the early 19th century. Since 1974, it has served as the headquarters for the State Office for Historic Monuments, preserving its historical significance and preventing commercial development.
