Cranach House on Market Square was originally built in the mid-16th century. The great Renaissance painter Lucas Cranach the Elder had a studio here, where he worked on his famous Triptych for Weimar's Church of St. Peter and St. Paul. This elaborately decorated building, badly damaged during World War II, is now restored.
