Next to the main street is the Renaissance-style town hall, built in 1590. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the Palatinate. Opposite the town hall and a few steps further up, you will find the fortified church complex from the Middle Ages.

The Dörrenbach town hall is a Renaissance building from 1590/91 in the municipality of Dörrenbach in the Southern Palatinate district in the Palatinate. It is a listed building.

The Dörrenbach town hall is a half-timbered building, free-standing on a small square on the main street of the town, where it forms an ensemble together with the higher-lying church of St. Martin, which is surrounded by a defensive wall with a defensive tower.

The ground floor, made of ashlar masonry with round-arched windows and a round-arched entrance, was formerly an open hall. Its wooden beam ceiling is supported by a girder that rests on a central stone column with an Ionic capital.

The first floor, which contains the council chamber, is half-timbered on three sides, with the eastern gable side being specially designed as a decorative side and the other floors under the hipped roof also showing half-timbering. The rear west gable is clad in slate. In the Franconian half-timbering, the so-called man figures (two diagonal struts that overlap in the upper part) and decorated St. Andrew's crosses in the row of compartments under the windows are design elements. The windows on the first floor are separately framed with carvings as so-called Franconian bay windows. Under one of the windows there is a coat of arms and the bakers' guild sign with the year 1590. In the masonry of the ground floor another coat of arms shows the same year.

On the north side of the town hall, a covered external staircase leads to the first floor. It ends in a decorated vestibule with a gable roof. Above the door is the inscription: PAX INTRANTIBUS 1590 ("Peace to those who enter").
