Gereonshaus, Architectural heritage monument in Altstadt-Nord, Cologne, Germany.

The Gereonshaus building exhibits neoclassical architecture with a symmetrical facade, spanning 60 meters along the street and containing 300 rooms across four floors.

Built between 1909 and 1910 by architect Carl Moritz, the structure initially served as a commercial building for various enterprises before sustaining damage during World War II.

The building gained recognition on June 14, 1988, when it was added to Cologne's list of monuments, cementing its status as architectural heritage.

Following renovations from 2009 to 2011, Gereonshaus now provides 9,800 square meters of office space, housing organizations like the German Association of Cities.

Until 1971, the building functioned as the Finnish trade mission headquarters in Germany, marking its role in international relations.
