Pforthaus

Half-timbered house
Historical building
The gatehouse was built in 1789 for the gatekeeper of the office building, who was also a prison guard.
Prisoners were guarded here and are even said to have been tortured.
The building was initially only one storey high.
In 1835, a further storey was built, which was used as a courtroom. In 1864, the court hearings were moved to the Achim district court.
