House by the big hearth

Zum breiten Herd, Zum Breiten Gerd
Germany, Erfurt
The house "At the big hearth" is one of the brightest houses in Erfurt. It is located on Rybnaya Square next to Guild House. This is an outstanding example of Renaissance architecture. It is simply impossible to look away from the sculptures, columns and murals decorating the house. The stucco molding of 5 fragments on the frieze depicts human senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. The building was built in 1584.

The "Big Hearth House" (Zum Breiten Herd), built in the 15th century, is considered one of the most beautiful houses in Erfurt. The building is decorated with allegorical figures and images, which, according to the architects of the Renaissance, scared away evil spirits. The lower frieze depicts five senses: a woman with a mirror - sight, a girl with a lute - hearing, a lady with flowers - smell, a beauty with fruit and a glass in her hand - taste, and a woman with a bird - touch. Address: Fischmarkt.
