My Brother's New Residence/ Die Neue Residenz Meines Bruders

My brother Stefan and his wife Sylvia had to unexpectedly move...it's a long and not so pretty story. He moved from an old house to another old, yet much prettier house. I think the pictures are worth sharing:
 Stefan and Sylvia live on the third floor, the top row of four windows. This house is called the Kaiserhaus, because it has been privately owned by the Kaiser family since 1840. It was built in 1620 as the seat of the bishops of Würzburg. It was purchased by the Kaisers in 1840.

Stefan und Sylvi wohnen im dritten Stock, oberste Reihe mit vier Fenstern. Das Haus ist bekannt als das Kaisernaus, da es seit 1840 in Besitz der Familie Kaiser ist. Es wurde in 1620 gebaut und diente als Amtssitz der Bischöfe von Würzburg. 1840 hat die Familie Kaiser es erworben.
