Aurich - Pingelhus

The low Pingelhus on the Georswall in Aurich, whose bell used to announce the departure of ships, was the meeting place of the East Frisian Landschaft (a rural credit association established to assist nobles ruined by the Seven Years War). It was rebuilt around 1900 in Renaissance style and has a sumptuously appointed interior (portraits of Counts and Princes of East Friesland).
