"Vault is the name of a listed half-timbered house in the round pit 4 in the Hanseatic city of Wismar. It stands on two barrel-vaulted bridge bays that give it its name. The round pit flows under the building, which shortly afterwards flows into the old harbor The building included in the city fortifications was erected in the middle of the 17th century and already had a similar predecessor from around 1400. Structurally, it was extensively changed in the 18th and 19th centuries and was owned by the city of Wismar until 1823. The head of the Ratskellers, the so-called wine lords, checked the quality of the wines delivered to the port in the 17th and 18th centuries before they reached the town hall. Later beer was served in the vault by tenants. The use of the house changed when in 1864 J . Wesenberg moved his fish and eel smokehouse here. The actual smokehouse, a three-story brick building from the 19th Century, was on the south side of the vault, but was demolished due to dilapidation in 2000. During city fires, the drainage of the pit into the harbor basin used to be blocked so that water could be dammed up to put out the fire. This was done through iron gates that were brought in from the municipal building yard.
At the turn of the millennium, the shop on the ground floor was modernized and the northern gable was given a neo-Gothic shop window design. During the renovation and reconstruction in 2003, the original facades were restored and the plaster on the west side was also removed. "Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gew%C3%B6lbe_(Wismar)

Very nice, representative building above the "round pit", as the canal is called in this part of the city. The half-timbered house is also known as the "vault" and spans the canal with two bridge bays.

The vaulted house bridges the mill stream that flows into the old port.
In this area it forms the round pit, which can quickly fill up at high water.
