The Zunfthaus zur Zimmerleuten at the Limmatquai promenade and the Münsterbrücke is the guild house of the Zunft zur Zimmerleuten, meaning the guild of the carpenters. It is one of the historically valuable buildings in Zürich, Switzerland, and houses also a relatively expensive restaurant of the same name.

History
The guild house was built in the 14th century AD as a representative building of the Zunft zur Zimmerleuten on the Limmat river's right hand (downstram) shore in the today's Rathaus quarter, in the immediate neighborhood of the Grossmünster church, the Rathaus Zürich and the Haus zum Rüden, being then the most important buildings in Zürich.
In 2007 the building was partially destroyed by a fire, renovated and re-opened in 2010.[1]
Cultural heritage
The building is listed in the Swiss inventory of cultural property of national and regional significance as a Class A object.[2]
