Bazargebäude

With its 575-foot-long neoclassical facade (175 meters), the Bazaar Building defines the eastern side of Munich's Odeonsplatz. Leo von Klenze built the symmetrical two-story structure between 1824 and 1826 on the site of the old riding school. It is divided into a central pavilion and two corner pavilions, and arcades on the Hofgarten side were integrated into the architecture. After suffering heavy war damage, the building was rebuilt by 1956. Today it houses a variety of shops and restaurants. The south pavilion is home to Café Tambosi, considered Munich's oldest coffeehouse, which has been in operation since 1775. The north pavilion once housed the Filmcasino, which closed in 2011.
