Salzstadel & World Heritage Visitor Centre
Salzstadel / Besucherzentrum Welterbe
A large 17th-century salt warehouse at the head of the Stone Bridge. It houses a free World Heritage Visitor Centre, where models and interactive displays tell the city's thousand-year history.
The salt warehouse was built between 1616 and 1620 to store salt shipped up the Danube, and its vast timber roof is still impressive. The visitor centre uses a model of the old city, multimedia displays, and touch screens to present Regensburg and the World Heritage Site of Stadtamhof. Admission is free, making it a good starting point for a visit. The building also houses a gift shop and a café, and right outside are the Historic Sausage Kitchen and the riverboat landing.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00-19:00 (shorter in winter)
