3rd Laveshaus

Georg Laves had the Laveshaus built between 1823 and 1824 as his own residence in the Neoclassical style. He lived on the third floor until the end of his life. Laves rented out the two lower floors to prominent figures such as Sir Hugh Halkett, commander of the Royal Hanoverian Brigade. Today, the Laveshaus serves as the headquarters of the Lower Saxony Chamber of Architects.
