Construction of the town hall began in 1557. A three-storey building with projecting floors was built on a sandstone foundation measuring approximately 12 x 18 m. For fire protection reasons, the half-timbered surfaces were plastered until the 19th century, and only later was the half-timbering exposed and beams and panels painted. A complete renovation took place in 1985/87. This is the state of the town hall in its current form. The octagonal stair tower was built in 1566 from red sandstone with a half-timbering finish. It was also called the fire tower and had access to every floor. In the event of a fire, the aim was to provide those in the town hall with a fire-safe exit. A particularly decorative piece is the portal of the stair tower, which was created by the Frankenherger woodcarver and sculptor Philipp Soldan.
