Salzwedel - Burghers' Houses

Salzwedel has many richly decorated half-timbered burghers' houses. A notable example is the Hochständerhaus at Schmiedestrasse 30. At Schmiedestrasse 17 is a 19th C. building with a fine carved doorway of 1534, known as the Adam and Eve Doorway. One of the finest buildings in the town is the Ritterhaus at Badestrasse 9, with rich Renaissance carved decoration.
