TOWN HALL COSWIG (ANHALT) In the Schmalkaldic War of 1547, it was destroyed along with many other buildings in the city. It was rebuilt in 1560 by Prince Wolfgang in the Renaissance style. Late Gothic groin-vaulted cellars were taken over from the previous building, which are mentioned as dungeons in various Coswig witch trials.
The artistic sandstone portal and the mighty free-standing oak column in the entrance area have been preserved from the Renaissance.
The east wing, the so-called lodging house, was built in 1887 and exclusively for the town cellar to create space for a guesthouse and restaurant.
