Mauthalle, Medieval customs house in Nuremberg, Germany.
The three-story sandstone structure extends 84 meters in length and features a gabled roof with five-story dormers and intricate blind ogee arches.
Built in 1498 as one of twelve civic granaries, the building transformed into a customs house in 1572 where officials collected tolls on merchant goods.
The lancet-arched portal displays a masterful representation of Nuremberg's coat of arms, created by sculptor Adam Kraft in 1502.
The building's basement, supported by 26 stone pillars, now houses a restaurant where visitors can experience local gastronomy in a historical setting.
During the medieval period, rooftop hoists allowed workers to lift and store grain through openings at both narrow ends of the building.
