Stapelhaus, Medieval trade building in Altstadt-Nord, Germany
The Stapelhaus stands near Groß St. Martin church along the Rhine River, featuring a gabled roof and a decorative staircase tower from the 1900s renovation.
Originally constructed as a fish market hall in the Middle Ages, the building underwent major reconstruction between 1558 and 1561 to include defensive architectural elements.
The Stapelhaus contained a Natural History Museum on its upper floor from 1902 until World War II, displaying collections of local and exotic animals.
The building now belongs to Kreishandwerkerschaft Köln and functions as a restaurant serving regional dishes and Kölsch beer from Monday through Sunday.
Female fish traders called Feschwiever operated at this location through their own guild, marking an unusual allowance for women in medieval commerce.
