The Overstolzenhaus is a patrician’s house built in a Roman style between 1225 and 1230 by Werner Overstolz. It is the last remaining of its kind in Cologne, and thought to be the best example in Germany. Its exterior is ornate and gabled, and inside its walls were adorned in the style of nobility – with one painted scene of a tournament still evident today. The building was renovated in the 19th century and today houses Cologne’s media college.
