Nonnenhaus

The Nonnenhaus extends 30 meters along the street, featuring traditional German timber framing construction with exposed wooden beams and white plastered walls.

Built in 1488 as a Dominican convent, the Nonnenhaus later housed Beguine nuns until the Protestant Reformation led to its dissolution in 1534.

Professor Leonhart Fuchs established one of Europe's first botanical gardens next to the Nonnenhaus, where he studied and documented medicinal plants.

The building now contains apartments, a bookstore with cafe, a violin workshop, and fashion stores, all accessible through the main entrance or covered staircase.

A viewing window in the bookstore floor reveals the original medieval tile surface from 1488, preserved beneath the modern flooring.
