A must-see for history and culture buffs. This impressive building is one of the oldest secular structures in the city and was expanded and remodeled by the Kuenring family as early as the 14th century. If you're interested in architecture and history, you'll find well-preserved Renaissance sgraffito and a lovingly restored Gothic pointed arch portal. Today, the Old Town Hall houses the Zwettl Information Center and the City Museum with its remarkable permanent exhibition, the "Anton Collection." The museum's educational offerings appeal to all age groups. Opening hours, prices, and further information can be found here: zwettl.gv.at/Bildung_Kunst_Kultur/Stadtmuseum.

The Renaissance graffiti were only rediscovered in 1976. During the restoration of the paintings, which took place in 2002, the Zwettl-based academic conservator Ralf Wittig strove for the greatest possible fidelity to the original. From 1850 to 1975, the Old Town Hall housed the district court and the land registry office.
Today, the Old Town Hall houses the Zwettl Tourist Information Center as well as the noteworthy City Museum with its permanent exhibition, the "Anton Collection." Museum education programs for children and adults are also offered.
