The first known mention of Brennhausen in an official document was in the year 1182. It was burned down in 1525 during the Peasants Revolt. The beams of the roof and the entrance to one of the cellars date from right after 1525. Today it is restored and owned by Brennhausen foundation.
References:The Jacques Cartier Manor House is the only existing property wich belonged to Cartier, the discoverer of Canada, in 1534. It’s a rare example of a great 16th century explorer’s home. Jacques Cartier opened up the North American continent to the French via the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The manor house has been restored and furnished to illustrate both the everyday life and the travels of its famous owner. From the kitchen with its red clay floor, to the explorer’s bedroom, this museum has lost none of its period charm.
