With the Haus zur Goldenen Waage (House of the Golden Scales), reconstructed in Frankfurt's new old town, the city has regained one of its most beautiful half-timbered houses from the Renaissance period.
The Haus zur Goldenen Waage (House of the Golden Scales) is a renaissance-style, timber-frame house built in the 17th century, destroyed in WW2 on 22 March 1944 and recently reconstructed true to the original.

The Goldene Waage is now home of a branch of the Historisches Museum Frankfurt. On the building’s roof, one finds the so-called "Belvederche" – a magnificent rooftop garden with spectacular views of the old town and the Frankfurt skyline.
A visit to the Haus zur Goldenen Waage is possible only in connection with guided tours.
