This building, together with the house to the right, originally belonged to the Kinheim estate of the Cologne cathedral chapter, which, according to a list of wine revenues in 1646, produced eight cargos of wine in Kinheim.
The building, a massive four-axis quarry stone construction with sandstone jambs, is said to have been built in 1786. The front door seems to date from 1751, according to the carved date.
The house was bought after the secularisation in 1808, after an old building had been sold, which had been used by the Kinheim early sacristans, i.e. the priests who read the first mass of the day, since the foundation of the mass by Johannes Grass in 1661.
