Fregehaus, Renaissance building in Leipzig, Germany

The Fregehaus building features four wings surrounding a central courtyard, with detailed stucco ceilings and restored wooden floorboards throughout its structure.

The building, constructed in 1535, underwent significant transformation in 1706 when architect Gregor Fuchs redesigned it in Baroque style for merchant Gottfried Otto.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and other notable German intellectuals gathered at Fregehaus during its time as a prominent trading and banking establishment.

Located in Leipzig's downtown area, the building now functions as a hotel with 17 double rooms and 3 apartments across three floors.

The second-floor historical salon maintains its original paneling and serves as the breakfast room where meals are presented on traditional Meissen porcelain.
