Kaiserworth by Kathrin_E
The pretty house named "Kaiserworth" was built in 1494 as the guild hall of the cloth merchants, who were the wealthiest and most influential citizens in town. They proudly erected their headquarters next to the town hall which had only been completed a few years earlier. For the last 200 years the building has been serving as a hotel.The building got its name from the statues of emperors in the niches of the facade. These statues are actually a baroque addition to the late medieval facade.
