This 2½-story house – named after its first owners, merchants Benjamin Knaut and Conrad Rhuland – is considered the finest example of Georgian architecture in the province. It's an intriguing insight into how a wealthy Lunenburg home would have looked to early settlers, although some of the rooms are quite spartan.
