historical building

The Krameramtshaus in Münster is one of the oldest and best-preserved guild houses in the city. Built in 1589, it served as the meeting and administrative centre of the Krameramt, the merchants' guild. With its richly decorated Renaissance façade, carved wooden ornaments and the striking stepped gable, the building impressively embodies the urban architecture of the early modern period.

Since 1995, the building has been home to the House of the Netherlands - a scientific and cultural centre with an academic focus that is unique in Germany. Situated in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral, the Krameramtshaus is one of the cultural highlights of the historic city centre.
