[DE] Stadtmuseum (Haus von der Leyen)

"Das Haus von der Leyen wurde zwischen 1594 und 1600 vom kurkölnischen Amtmann Georg von der Leyen und seiner Ehefrau Katharina von Eltz zu Pyrmont erbaut. Im Jahre 1921 erwarb die Stadt Andernach das Gebäude. Seit 1936 ist hier - mit Unterbrechungen während und nach dem 2. Weltkrieg - das städtische Museum untergebracht. Eine grundlegende Sanierung wurde von 2005 bis 2007 durchgeführt."

"Das Andernacher Stadtmuseum wurde 1936 als "Heimatmuseum" in dem Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts erbauten Haus von der Leyen eröffnet und stellt eines der schönsten Häuser der Stadt dar. Der ehemalige Stadtpalast des Oberamtmanns Georg von der Leyen ist ein hervorragendes Zeugnis für die aufwendige Architektur in der Spätrenaissance. Besonders der Portikus beeindruckt mit seinen vielfältigen Zitaten griechisch, römischer Bautradition."

Aufgeführt ist das Stadtmuseum in der Liste der Kulturdenkmäler für Andernach: ehemaliges Haus der von der Leyen; Putzbau, Spätrenaissance, 1594 bis 1600, Mansarddach aus dem 18. Jahrhundert; rückwärtig viereckiger Turm und verglaste Fachwerk-Loggia
