Kupferhof Schart

Stolberg

Heute geöffnet

The Kupferhof Schart is one of Stolberg's earlier courtyard complexes and, despite extensive reconstruction, still clearly shows its original construction.


The Kupferhof Schart, located in the very south of the old town, was built shortly before 1600 directly on the Vichtbach stream as a double courtyard complex. As was typical at the time, the farm was built as a closed, fortified and defensible complex, which formed an inner courtyard completely surrounded by residential and farm buildings and stables. The copper courtyard was only accessible through a well-fortified gate and the façade looked uninviting from the outside without windows. The present appearance of the Schart is characterised by a conversion carried out in 1808, in which the originally plain exterior façades were fundamentally altered.
In 1719, the Schart was the first Stolberg copper yard to undergo a change of use, when Matthias von Asten set up a cloth manufactory there.
Discover this and many other copper yards on a stroll through Stolberg while enjoying the flair of the old town and the charm of the Gründerzeit. Our flyer "Kupferstadt & Kupferhöfe" will show you the way!
