Zunfthaus zur Saffran at the Limmatquai promenade, situated between Münsterbrücke and Rathausbrücke, is the guild house of the ''Zunft zur Saffran'', meaning the guild of the spice traders. Neighboured by the Kämbel, Zimmerleuten and Rüden guild houses, it is one of the historically notable buildings in Zürich, Switzerland. The building also houses the relatively expensive restaurant of the same name. == History == The guild house of the Saffran guild was first mentioned in 1383 AD when 18 citizens bought the so-called ''Haus zum Schiff'' building. Between 1719 and 1723 the present building was erected as a representative construction at the site of five former houses. Situated on the Limmat river's right hand (downstram) shore in the today's Rathaus quarter, it still stands in the immediate neighborhood of the Grossmünster church, the Rathaus Zürich and the Haus zum Rüden, being then the most important buildings in Zürich. Typical architectural features for that era are the layout of the facade with cornices and columns, but also the internal decorations and linings of the rooms that have been preserved despite several renovations and conversions. In the mid-19th-century the building was also used as an improvised post station. By the last renovation in 1995, the whole infrastructure was adjusted to today's societal needs. The ''big'' guild hall on the first floor, the ''small'' guild hall and the White Rose hall on the second floor welcome guests and are available for events.〔 Zunfthaus zur Saffran & Haue - Limmat - Wühre 2015-07-16 12-27-15.JPG|as seen from ''Wühre'' towards ''Weinplatz'' Limmatquai - Zunfthaus zur Saffran - Rathaus 2015-01-10 14-54-20 (P7800).JPG|as seen from ''Gmüesbrugg'' Limmatquai - Zunfthaus zur Saffran - Rathaus 2015-01-10 14-52-55 (P7800).JPG Zunfthaus zur Saffran 2010-10-23 18-13-36 ShiftN.jpg 2013 Sechseläuten - Gesellschaft zu Fraumünster - Saffran-Haue - Limmatquai 2013-04-15 15-05-55.JPG|Saffran and Zunfthaus zur Haue as seen from Limmatquai 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zunfthaus zur Saffran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
