The house is a historic site. Dassel got town rights in the 14rh century and built a townwall with seven towers between 1350 and 1400. On th souther side the Baldertower was built of large sandstones. Around 1820 part of the tower was turned down and the house was built on the location inside the townwall. Part of the tower were re-used and in the middle of the house still one wall of the tower exist. A stable was added around 1900 which now contains the kitchen
and the bathroom. Under the sandstone floor in the living room we still found part of the old townwall going through the house.
The first renovation was finished in 2005. In May 2011 the roof was re-newed and we added a sleeping room in the attic. Today the house combines modern comfort with the style and coziness of an old building.
