Gewölbe, Medieval timber-framed bridge house in Old Harbor, Wismar, Germany.
The two-story timber-framed structure stands on vaulted bridge piers, allowing the Runde Grube stream to flow beneath into the Old Harbor.
Built in the mid-17th century on foundations from 1400, the building served as a wine testing facility for city officials until 1823.
The Gewölbe represents traditional Northern German architecture, forming part of Wismar's maritime heritage within the UNESCO World Heritage site.
The building underwent extensive renovation in 2003, including facade restoration and removal of plaster from the western side facing the harbor.
Iron gates installed at the Grube's outflow allowed the structure to aid in firefighting by creating a water reservoir during city emergencies.
