Town hall

The original town hall stood on the opposite side of the town square. During the Thirty Years' War, the town hall fell into disrepair and the town council had to convene in the castle from 1680. As the situation was unbearable, the councillors decided to build a new town hall. The construction was commissioned to experienced German builder Abraham Leuthner. The construction was carried out between the years 1682 and 1696. The Gothic cellars of the original burgher house have been preserved to this day. A tower with an onion dome on top rises from the central axis of the forefront. A polychrome coat-of-arms made by A. Zeidler in 1686 is placed above the entrance front. The town hall was reconstructed in the 1980s and since then, it has been serving as the seat of the town authority. The town library with a unique exhibition dedicated to the art of book binding is situated on the ground floor.
