City Museum in the Butchers’ Guild Hall

The picture shows a big square in Hildesheim. In the center is a pretty fountain with flowers. Behind it is a large half-timbered house with many windows. The house is called: Knochenhaueramtshaus. It is very old and famous. On the right are more nice houses. On the left are tables and umbrellas. It is a sunny day.
