Bachhaus Weimar, Renaissance residence in Weimar, Germany
The building features classical architectural elements on its facade and contains preserved underground vaults from the original Renaissance structure beneath the current ground level.
Between 1708 and 1717, composer Johann Sebastian Bach resided in this house, creating over 30 cantatas and numerous compositions for organ, solo piano, and violin.
The structure stands at Weimar's market square, which forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site, representing a central location in German musical heritage.
The underground vaults of the former Bach residence remain accessible and constitute the only existing structural elements from any Bach dwelling worldwide.
During the period when the building served as Hotel Zum Erbprinzen, composers Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, and Hector Berlioz stayed there without knowing its Bach connection.
