Haus Saaleck, Medieval building in Altstadt-Nord, Germany
Located at Am Hof 50, Haus Saaleck stands at the intersection of historical streets Unter Taschenmacher and Am Hof in central Cologne.
First mentioned in 1281, Haus Saaleck belonged to a stonemason named Theoderich and was rebuilt in 1461 featuring late Gothic style cross windows.
The building currently serves as Cologne's Artothek, allowing residents to borrow artworks, paintings, and sculptures for personal enjoyment at home.
The building underwent extensive restoration work between 2010 and 2014, preserving its historical elements while adapting to modern requirements and accessibility standards.
The name Saaleck references an ancient archbishop's palace near Domhof, with early documents from 1283 referring to the structure as saileckin.
