From the Middle Ages, trade was organized from the guilds. This building was commissioned by the Fish Buyers Guild in 1607 and has one of the city's most beautiful Renaissance facades. The building's beautiful stepped gable reflected well the wealth of the guild and attracted many new buyers. Various types of fish were sold on Fish Street. To make the merchandise even more attractive, salmon were beaten first on the nose and then behind the gills, giving them a beautiful pink color. The salmon was then shrink whipped. 'Crimping' became the trade name of the guild, which later changed to Crimpert Salm. The facade from 1608, extensively restored in 1898, is richly decorated with a frieze of masonry mosaic and with heads, lion masks and a top pilaster with coat of arms bearing a lion. Today, the building houses a restaurant of the same name: The Crimp.
