Upended Sugarloaf

The Upended Sugarloaf was built around 1510 half-timbered house in Hildesheim, which was characterized by bold projections on three fronts facade. The ground floor had a floor area of ​​17 m², while the second floor had an area of ​​29 m². The inverted conical shape reminded her of a topsy-turvy Sugarloaf. The house was destroyed in World War II during an air raid on Hildesheim on 22 March 1945 and reconstructed in 2009.

The house is next to the pier house at the northeast exit of Andrew Square to the High Way (Andreas ranked No. 29). Reason for the unusual design was the use of a small plot.
