Hiking

The town hall was built in 1723 from a former wine press. For a long time, the press served as a wine cellar for the local winegrowers' cooperative. Even after it was converted into a town hall, it continued to be used for a variety of purposes. There was also a small prison in the town hall.

Hiking

With its striking wooden beams, steep roof, and small windows, it speaks of centuries of municipal tradition. Today, it not only houses the city administration but is also a venue for weddings, exhibitions, and cultural events.
