Review & FAQ:

Schifferstadt is the oldest standing house in Frederick and one of the finest examples of German-Georgian colonial architecture in the country. Built in 1758, the house has several unique architectural features such as two-foot-thick stone walls, hand-hewn wood beams, stone arches, a giant "wishbone" chimney, jamb stoves, and a tightly winding staircase to the second floor. The designated a National Historic Landmark is surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens, and grounds and both the gardens and the house is open to the public for tours on Saturdays and Sundays.
