Markthalle Altenrhein Hundertwasser Architektur — Attraction in Thal

What a beautiful place! I was so ready to spend money on the art, have a nice meal and refreshing drink after a long days travel, but your server changed all of that in a moment. My traveling partner and I got a menu and sat down at an available table. The server arrived, and all seemed well. We ordered mineral waters as we looked over the menu. We were served our drinks. My traveling partner continued to look over the menu. The server sat a few customers and walked behind my partner and snatched the menu away . (My partner was looking at the menu and was unaware the server had walked up behind her) Never once making eye contact. She gave the menu to new customers. She never again came to us. She never looked our way. She continued to seat and wait upon other customers. But would never return to us. We went to pay for our (2) glasses of water. €12.00. She never spoke. She clearly did not want us there. I have never been to an establishment that flat out refused to serve me. Tourists beware. Do not give your money to this place. The whimsical beauty of the building will attract you, but I promise the service is less than stellar. I am sure the service will be much more at the McDonald’s next door! Walk through. Enjoy the beauty of the architecture; but do not waste your time or money on these people who make it very apparent that they do...

Apparently what you see is on purpose ,uneven floors ,ceramic all around ,peaces of bricks ,bright colours ,strange walkways ,windows that look like they are falling , there is a very nice coffee shop inside with some delicious cakes ( I had to taste them!) and also has a shop with products resembling the building !

If you are traveling around and come across this building ,stop go inside and be...

Who doesn't know the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000)? He created beautiful houses in Vienna, where there is also a museum. This hall was built in four years according to the design of the architect Peter Pelikán and with the participation of sponsors. It is a magical place near Sant Gallen in Switzerland, next to a small private airport. The building is beautiful both outside and inside, there is a café and a gallery, as you can see from the photos. We didn't want to leave there. Something truly...
