Alte Münze (Münzhof) – Old Mint

Hofgraben 4/ Pfisterstrasse
S/U-Bahn/Marienplatz station
Monday-Thursday 8am-4.15pm, Friday 8am-2pm

This building dates from 1563-67 and was originally conceived as an extension to the castle. Around the middle of the 16th century already it housed one of the first, albeit private, museums north of the Alps. From 1803 to 1983 it was used as an official mint, last by the German Bundesbank. Today’s main attraction for visitors is the trapezoid interior courtyard from Renaissance times with its three-storey-high arcade corridors.
