Markt 6

Markt 6 is a three-story residential building on Market Square in Meissen featuring sandstone consoles, blind arches, and profiled window frames. The structure extends with a vaulted cellar up to ten meters behind the street facade and now functions as a hotel.

The building originates from the 15th century and received a third floor during the 18th century. It sustained damage during the Swedish invasion of 1637.

The facade displays typical Market Square architectural details with its stone consoles and blind arches that define the visual character of this space. The spatial arrangement and historical wall paintings reflect generations of residents and merchants who shaped the daily life of this corner.

The building sits directly on Market Square and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors can view the preserved historical features and clearly visible facade details from the street.

The interior contains elaborate wall paintings from the 18th century that were uncovered during renovation work after 1991. A rare profiled beam ceiling was discovered during these same investigations.
