Weinstadl, Town house in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.

The Weinstadl is a tall, narrow town house at Burgstraße 5 in Munich's Old Town, built in 1525 and rebuilt as the city scribe's house in 1551–52. Its pale facade, repainted by Hans Mielich in 1552, carries rectangular windows in dark recessed frames, a round-arched doorway with a wall lamp, and a steep red-tiled roof with a small clock in the gable. Inside survives Munich's last Gothic spiral staircase tower.

The house was built in 1525 and reflects Munich's architectural development during a period of growth under Bavarian rule. The structure dates to the late medieval era, when the city was expanding its boundaries and influence.

The building displays Gothic features that continue to shape the character of this old district's streets. Its windows and doorways reveal how residents have inhabited and worked in this area across generations.

The house is centrally located in Munich's Old Town and is easily accessible by public transport. Its proximity to the Isar River and Marienplatz makes the district straightforward to explore on foot.

Inside the Weinstadl survives Munich's last Gothic spiral staircase tower, a Schnecke, and the house is one of the few in the city to keep its Himmelsleiter, a steep ladder-like stair. Since December 2021 the building has housed Tohru Nakamura's restaurant Tohru in der Schreiberei, awarded two Michelin stars in March 2022 and a third in 2025.
