The Old Town Hall or Palais Welzer in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee is located on the Old Square. It was built in the 17th century by the Welzer family as a city palace. From 1737 it served as a town hall and was rebuilt in 1739. In 1918 the town hall was moved to what was then the Palais Rosenberg, today's New Town Hall. The Old Town Hall has been owned by the Orsini-Rosenberg family ever since.The palace is one of the largest buildings on the square. It is three floors. The front side facing the square dates back to the 17th century and has a pseudo-rustic style and a round-arched, square-framed portal on the ground floor. Its capitals are ionizing and stand on vases with lion head reliefs. Columns and a console in the apex of the portal support the entablature with a roof-like cantilever. There is a relief of the Rosenberg coat of arms above the portal.
