Rheinfelden Town Hall

Centrally located, the town hall with its impressive baroque facade, massive tower and beautiful courtyard stands in the middle of Rheinfelden's old town.

An Austrian coat of arms on a Swiss town hall?

After the town hall burned down in 1531, it was rebuilt. The tower with its crenellated crown dates back to the Zähringer period. The baroque facade from the 18th century shows the coats of arms of Austria, the county of Hauenstein, Laufenburg, Säckingen, Rheinfelden, and the Truchsessen family.

Rheinfelden belonged to the Habsburgs and thus to Austria for almost 1000 years. Today, the entire city administration is located in the historic building.

Rudolf: The King of Rheinfelden.

When you enter through the gate on the left, there is a cast of the gravestone of Rudolf von Rheinfelden († 1080). The former court and market arcades are also here.

Rheinfelden Town Hall
The Town Hall is a hidden gem full of history. It is located in the town hall and can be reached via the Gothic staircase in the inner courtyard. Inside, magnificent portraits of the Habsburg rulers and coats of arms await. Anyone who wants to get married in Rheinfelden can celebrate their civil wedding here.
Cultural asset of regional importance.
On the night of February 11, 1531, the old town hall in Rheinfelden fell victim to a fire. Shortly afterwards, a new building was built using the medieval tower that had been spared from the fire.
This late Gothic building forms the core of today's town hall.
Coat of arms & portraits of the rulers.
The large council chamber was decorated on the north and south sides with coats of arms from the Ropstein workshop in Freiburg im Breisgau. These were donated by Austrian sovereigns, friendly forest towns and the county of Hauenstein, as well as local nobles who were in the service of the Habsburgs.
10 princes and 8 citizens' portraits depict personalities from Rheinfelden's history: Among others, Emperor Ferdinand I and Maria Theresa.

Beautiful building mainly in Baroque style with a large courtyard. It's worth a visit. Nearby there are also cafes and restaurants for a little snack in between.
