Romanushaus

Romanushaus is a Baroque palace located at the intersection of Katharinenstrasse and Bruhl in Leipzig with a distinctive mansard roof. The three-story facade displays thirteen window axes facing Bruhl street and combines classical Baroque elements with modern office spaces.

The building was constructed in the early 18th century and is connected to Leipzig's civic history through its original builder. Its presence has shaped the historical character of the city center since its completion.

During the 18th century, the rooms served as a meeting place for Leipzig's artists and scholars who gathered for readings and musical performances. The building still reflects its role as an important center for intellectual exchange in the city.

The building can be admired from outside and is centrally located in the city center, easily accessible on foot. The surrounding area offers multiple ways to explore the historical architecture and nearby squares.

A two-story bay window uniquely connects the north and east facades of the building in an eye-catching way. Beneath this architectural feature sits a Hermes statue that many visitors overlook.
