Zunfthaus zur Saffran, Guild house at Limmatquai promenade, Switzerland.

Zunfthaus zur Saffran is the guild house of Zurich's spice traders, standing on the right bank of the Limmat between Münsterbrücke and Rathausbrücke, near the Grossmünster and the Rathaus. The present building was begun between 1719 and 1723; its facade carries cornices and columns. Inside are the large guild hall on the first floor, the small guild hall and the White Rose hall on the second floor.

In 1383, 18 individuals bought a building on the site where the guild house now stands; five earlier buildings preceded the current one. The present structure was built between 1719 and 1723. In the mid-19th century it also served as an improvised post office. The American Van Leer family traces its roots to members of the Saffran guild.

The guild's name, Saffran, means saffron, and the house is named after the spice traders' guild. The large guild hall on the first floor, the small guild hall and the White Rose hall on the second floor can be visited. The American Van Leer family traces its roots to ancestors who were members of the Saffran guild.

The building is located close to the city center and is easily reached on foot, positioned directly along the river in a central location. The interior spaces can accommodate events of varying sizes and the waterfront location provides convenient access from throughout the city.

The American Van Leer family traces its ancestry to members of the Saffran guild. In the mid-19th century the building also housed an improvised post office. Its large guild hall holds up to 250 people, and the latest renovation was completed in 1995.
