Zunfthaus zur Zimmerleuten

The Zunfthaus zur Zimmerleuten at the Limmatquai promenade in Zürich, Switzerland, situated between Münsterbrücke and Rathausbrücke, is the guild house of the Zunft zur Zimmerleuten, meaning the guild of the carpenters.

Neighboured by the Saffran, Kämbel and Rüden guild houses, it is one of the city's historically notable buildings.

The guild house was built in the 14th century as a representative building of the Zunft zur Zimmerleuten on the Limmat river's right hand (downstream) shore in the today's Rathaus quarter, in the immediate neighborhood of the Grossmünster church, the Rathaus Zürich and the Haus zum Rüden, being then the most important buildings in Zürich.

The guild house was first mentioned in a document dated 1416 AD.

[2] The building is listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as a Class A object.
