Hofapotheke Coburg, Historic pharmacy and architectural monument in Coburg, Germany

The three-story building with a steep saddle roof features a rectangular bay window and statues of the Virgin Mary and Saint Christopher at its corner.

The pharmacy has operated since 1543, initially named Apotheke zum goldenen Strauß, with Cyriakus Schnauß serving as the first registered pharmacist in this location.

The structure incorporates Gothic elements, including original cross-ribbed vaults in the ground floor and a late medieval sculptural program on its exterior walls.

The building stands at the eastern side of the marketplace, extending to Steingasse street, and consists of two parallel structures connected by an intermediate section.

The establishment produces a traditional herbal liqueur following a secret recipe known exclusively to the acting court pharmacist of each generation since 1864.
