At the top of the building of the old town hall is a curious rococo pediment. It was sculpted
by Ferdinand from Roermond.
Located on the left side of the pediment
the coat of arms of Theodore
of Bavaria (died 1763),
the then Prince-Bishop of
Liège, on the right is Bree's coat of arms, which is the mirror image of the current one.
In the center is the Austrian eagle, as a reference to Austrian rule and above it is the patron saint Saint Michael with the dragon.

A beautiful rococo pediment adorns the facade of the old town hall of Bree. It features a relief depicting the battle of Saint Michael, patron saint of Bree, with the dragon, as well as three coats of arms: that of Bree, that of the Austrian emperor, and that of Johan Theodoor van Beieren, the then prince-bishop of Liège.
