Hassel House

Hassel House is a 19th century country house located north of Koningstad, near Wiets. Built for former Mayor of Koningstad Arthur Hassel from 1822 to 1827, it is an impressive and well-conserved country house from the period.

History
Hassel House was built as a private residence for Hassel. He enjoyed the countryside and being away from the city center, and after elected was intent on living away from the city. Political detractors called the house a "Versailles" that would shield him and keep him alienated.

The house was completed in 1827, though he only enjoyed it for a year before his death in a duel.
