As you're walking, look to your left for a charming red-brick building with large, white-paned windows. The facade stands out with its decorative bricks and a grand archway entrance. If you spot a colorful facade featuring a man on horseback, you're in the right place!
Welcome to the Haus "Graf Anton Günther," where history trots alongside you! Built in 1682, this building has stories as rich as its architecture. Count Anton Günther can be seen galloping heroically on the mural, masterfully painted by Professor August Oetken in 1894 during the neo-Renaissance redesign. Imagine the house bustling with merchants and tobacco manufacturers once upon a time.
After a great fire in Oldenburg, it was reconstructed as a merchant's house and remained in the Grovermann family for 135 years. It had quite the career change, later housing a bustling tobacco factory before becoming the splendid Hoyer brewery’s restaurant and hotel. So, whether you're a history buff or just a curious wanderer, this spot has plenty to stir your imagination!
