The Old Town Hall in Königstein, originally built around 1255, has been the town museum since 1968. It shows the history of the region with finds, models and the highlight, a model of the Königstein Fortress from 1790. A must for history buffs.

The building was originally built around 1255 as the lower gate of Königstein Castle. On July 22, 1655, the town received the building free of charge from the sovereign, the Archbishop of Mainz, Johann Philipp von Schönborn. The destruction of the Thirty Years' War had caused the house to deteriorate to the point that only the massive substructure could be used. The current building was built on this basement in half-timbered construction. It was completed in 1673 and was used as the town hall until 1909.
The Königstein Castle and Town Museum has been housed in the old town hall since 1968. The museum deals with the historical development of the region and the town of Königstein. Finds, models, drawings, pictures, tools, coins and everyday objects from many centuries up to the present day are on display.
