Meißen Domplatz 1 Kornhaus, Medieval granary at Domplatz, Meißen, Germany
The Kornhaus stands as a stone structure with multiple floors, featuring traditional Saxon architectural elements and a steep-pitched roof on the castle hill.
Built in 1494 during the transformation of the medieval fortress into a castle, the Kornhaus served as a grain storage facility and guard quarters.
The building transformed from a granary to a residence for Saxon royalty in the 19th century when King Johann created living quarters within its walls.
The Emma and Otto Horn Foundation purchased the Kornhaus in December 2023 and initiated extensive renovation works, including complete roof restoration through May 2024.
The building's foundations rest directly on solid rock, and its construction required sophisticated engineering methods to ensure stability on the elevated terrain.
