The Haunted House in Korbach was once a gothic warehouse whose access was only possible through an adjacent half-timbered house. It was built around 1300 from rough limestone ashlars. One of the oldest half-timbered houses in Korbach, the former Haus Wille, is closely connected to the old warehouse.
