Alte Münze, Medieval building in Minden, Germany
The three-story sandstone building features Gothic tracery windows from the 13th century and a stepped gable characteristic of northern European architecture.
Constructed around 1260, the Alte Münze ranks among the oldest stone houses in Westphalia and served as the residence of the mint master until the 16th century.
The building received modifications in the early 17th century, including a bay window and portal in Late Renaissance style, reflecting the architectural evolution of the period.
The historical structure, registered as number 74 in Minden's monument list, now houses a restaurant where visitors can experience local gastronomy.
Archaeological findings of numerous coins at this location initially led researchers to misidentify the building as the city's former mint house.
