Tips

The Old Town Hall served as the seat of the city administration until the 1950s. After reconstruction between 1994 and 1995, it became the representative headquarters of the brown coal mining company Sokolovská uhelná. The building was built around 1540. During the siege of the city by the Saxon army in 1632, it burned down. In 1794, lightning struck the town hall tower. The tower was rebuilt, but then destroyed by fire in 1873 and not rebuilt after that. It was rebuilt in the classicist style in 1835 and 1836. The building also served as a district court, governor's office, district captain's apartment, city archives, stables, dance hall and prison. The historic town hall has retained many features of its original appearance of the so-called Saxon Renaissance. The Renaissance roof has also been preserved in its original form.

The old town hall dates back to 1540. After a fire in the middle of the 17th century it got its current appearance. The Gothic-Renaissance entrance portal is striking.
