Gasthaus Sonne, Gothic inn in Altstadt, Winterthur, Switzerland.

The Gasthaus Sonne features three-part windows on the first floor and large dining areas with wooden beam ceilings from the medieval period.

Founded in 1483 and rebuilt in 1557, this establishment underwent substantial modifications in 1670 before the Ziegler family acquired it around 1800.

The Vitodurania student association established their meeting place at Haus zur Sonne in 1892, continuing their gatherings through generations of members.

The building currently houses a pharmacy on the ground floor while maintaining gastronomic services on the first level for various events.

From 1907, the building's courtyard became known for selling affordable fish as an alternative to expensive meat for local residents.
