Clad in clinker baguettes, the Steinhalle (stone hall) building stands out from its heterogeneous urban environment in a subtle yet present way. The new museum building stands in particularly stark visual contrast to the baroque structure next door, which was built as a hospital in the 16th century. The listed building has been home to the town's museum since 1906. The old and new buildings are connected by means of a glazed joint – consisting of Schüco window and door systems – highlighting the autonomy of the Steinhalle.
The Steinhalle contains architectural fragments, plus religious and stone monuments, which can now be shown to the public for the first time thanks to the extension. This is not just visible from inside the building either. The Steinhalle's large windows, which are also Schüco systems, have become windows into the Roman past of the 2000-year-old town of Alzey. A multifunctional Schüco fire and smoke door system ensures safety for visitors and the exhibits in the event of a fire.
