    The historic town hall - built in 1552 - with its rich half-timbered structure is located in the old town center and is one of the oldest preserved town halls in the region.
    The year is carved into the apex of the sandstone cladding of the entrance door. The building served as a court hall and tithe barn. In addition to the main entrance door, the pillory in the form of a sandstone console with necklaces or anklets can also be seen, as well as the cubit as an iron measure on the wooden entrance door. The east side with the entrance and the north gable are particularly richly decorated with St. Andrew's crosses. The protruding windows that adorn the town hall were redesigned by the sculptor Pitro in 1908 with decorative elements. The market fountain, a round draw well with a roof, stands north of the building.
    Today the building is used as an event room 🚴‍♂️
