Basel

IN SHORT

Located in the center of the old town, the 'Spalenhof' is one of Basel's most important buildings. Dating from the 13th century, it was converted into a merchant's home in the 15th and 16th centuries and was sold to the city in 1956. New apartments were planned as part of a program to upgrade the district as a residential area. In 1984, a preliminary investigation into the building's condition revealed that the Kaisersaal's roof structure at 12 x 12 meters was too huge by medieval standards, along with its massive, timber post-and-beam system and a painted cassette ceiling.
