Lohnhof, Basel

The Lohnhof is a historic building complex in Basel. It is located next to Leonhard's Church on Kohlenberg in Basel's Old Town.

The building, which was still nameless at the time, was built in 1206 as a canonry of the Augustinian order. The first mention of it dates back to 1668, when the head of the city's building department paid wages to the craftsmen, hence the name. The predecessor of the Lohnhof and Leonhard's Church was a hall church, which was probably built in the 11th century.
