Trinkhalle - Baden-Baden, Baden, Germany - Victorian Style Architecture on Waymarking.com

"The Trinkhalle (pump room) was constructed in the mid of the 19th century at the northern border of the Kurgarten in the Kaiserallee, which was called Promenad Straße back then. The Trinkhalle was established as a place where the guests could drink the waters of the thermal springs. This is still possible today indoors. In the 90 m long arcade, that is open to the east, one finds 14 large mural paintings of regional legends. In the building a tourist information and a café are housed."

As for the Romanesque style, the architect "Heinrich Hübsch argued that style should be derived from carefully considered structural methods and a realistic approach to cost. His plumping for Byzantine Romanesque round-arched forms was based less on style than on the qualities of brick as a building material. His best work of architecture is arguably the elegant Trinkhalle (Spa Pump Room), Baden-Baden (1837–40), with its segmental arcades."

The Trinkhalle is fronted by 14 Corinthian Columns, making it appear to be a northern outpost of the Roman Empire.
