Vierflügelanlage

The Vierflügelanlage is a building with four wings arranged around a central courtyard, featuring medieval architectural characteristics. The structure combines stone walls with wooden elements and forms a closed complex where different spaces are organized around the inner courtyard.

The building was constructed in the Middle Ages and served merchants and craftspeople as a center. Over time it was expanded and modified with Renaissance and Baroque elements, shaping its appearance today.

The structure reflects Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles that show how building designs changed over time in medieval Bavarian towns. The way the four wings surround the courtyard tells visitors how people organized work and living spaces in those times.

The complex is best explored on foot, and the central courtyard is easily accessible. It helps to arrive early when fewer visitors are present, allowing you to observe the architecture more calmly.

Each wing originally had a different function, with one area designed for living and other wings serving as workshops and storage. This division shows how closely living and working were intertwined in medieval towns.
