Kammerzell House

The House chamber cell (also chamber cell house, Maison French chamber cell, alsatian Kammerzellhüs ) is the most famous secular building in Strasbourg. This is a 1427 built and 1467 converted bourgeois half-timbered house, which was in 1589 a rich Schnitzfassade.

It is considered one of the most beautiful half-timbered houses of the German late Gothic period, comparable to the (1944 burned ) salt house in Frankfurt am Main or the ( reconstructed ) Knochenhaueramtshaus in Hildesheim, but is preserved in the original substance as opposed to this.

The house stands on the north side of the cathedral square, the side of the Strasbourg cathedral, and is home to a restaurant ( " Maison chamber cell " ) and a small hotel (9 rooms ).
