Ballarat Heritage Weekend

Nieder Weisel

109 Webster Street, Ballarat

What sets this mid 1800's Victorian home apart from others is the fascinating underground house, constructed for the original owner so he could hibernate from the heat during the summer months.

The privately owned home is located on one of Ballarat's most prestigious streets. It was built in 1885 by Irishman Edward Stephens, who, like many, came searching for their fortunes that lay hidden on the goldfields.

Nieder Weisel has Victorian National Trust classification and is offering visitors a chance to experience the wonderful tradition of High Tea.
