    The mighty seven-story Old Customs House was built in 1495 to replace an earlier customs building erected by the Counts of Helfenstein. Today, the iPunkt is located there.

    The building represents a particularly impressive example of medieval timber architecture.
    The seven-story building features an ornate gabled façade, and the elaborate oak leaf embellishments underscore its prestigious character.
    The ground floor once housed the customs office, with the customs officer living above it with his family and assistants. The upper floors housed warehouses and a treasury for the tithes and rents.
