The Merchant Adventurers Hall [{GoogleMap location='Merchant Adventurers Hall, Fossgate, York, Großbritannien und Nordirland' zoom='15'}] was one of the most important buildings in medieval York. 

The majority of the structure was built in 1357; its Great Hall was where merchants gathered to conduct business and socialize, while its Undercroft served as a hospital and almshouse for the poor. 

The Merchant Adventurers today no longer conduct mercantile activities but are a charitable group. The Hall is the largest timber-framed building in the UK still standing and used for its original purpose.
