Trinkhalle (Baden-Baden)

The Trinkhalle (pump house) in the Kurhaus spa complex in Baden-Baden, Germany[1] was built 1839–42 by Heinrich Hübsch in a complementary architectural style as the spa's main building. The 90-metre arcade is lined with frescos and benches. The spa waters are said to have curative powers.[2]
