Grashaus, Gothic municipal building in Aachen, Germany
The Grashaus features seven blind arcades with statues on its upper wall section and maintains its original medieval limestone facade from 1267.
The structure served as Aachen's first town hall until the 14th century, when it transformed into a courthouse and prison for several centuries.
The building now functions as Station Europa on the Route Charlemagne, offering educational programs about European integration for students and visitors.
Monthly guided tours occur on the first Saturday, allowing visitors to explore the architectural elements and learn about the building's multiple functions.
The International Charlemagne Prize Foundation maintains its office in this structure, where decisions about recipients of European unity awards take place.
