Altes Rathaus Salzburg

Rococo (1772 facade; rebuilt 1616-1618, medieval core)

Most visitors walk straight past Salzburg's old town hall without realising the slender corner building on the Kranzlmarkt hides the oldest clock and the oldest bell in the city, both housed in its tower behind a black-and-gold dial. The city bought the site, an existing burgher house built around a 12th-century tower, in 1407.

Kehlsteinhaus

1938

The Kehlsteinhaus (known in English as the Eagle's Nest) is a mountaintop building on the Kehlstein above Berchtesgaden in Bavaria, built in 1938 as a 50th birthday gift from the Nazi Party to Adolf Hitler. The building sits at 1,834 meters, accessed by a purpose-built mountain road and a brass-lined elevator cut through 124 meters of rock.
