One of the joys of walking around European cities is that you never know what you might see. Take this building, just up the street from Porta Nigra.
This one dates back to 1200, when construction was started. They finished the job in 1231, showing that waiting for workmen to be finished isn't a modern invention. It's actually two buildings in one - front and back, connected by a staircase. It's gone through some changes over the centuries. In 1938, the owners decided to bring back an old-time feel to the place. You'd have to say the place looks pretty sharp more than 800 years after opening.
