The old town hall in Geisenfeld , a town in the Upper Bavarian district of Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm , was built in 1626. The town hall in the Baroque style at Rathausstraße 11 is a protected architectural monument .

The three-storey, gable constant steep satteldachbau with roof turret has a central bay window with an attached pillar shrine with stucco figure of the enthroned Justitia , which created a resident in artist Balthasar Scholl. The coat of arms of the city, framed by cartilage , is attached above the portal . At the gable is the Duke of Bavaria coat of arms to be seen.

The council chamber on the first floor has a stucco ceiling from the time of construction with figurative motifs: angel heads and fruit bundles grouped around a mask.

In 2015/16 the old town hall was extensively renovated at a cost of over four million euros and has been used again by the city administration since then.

The building may have served as a model for the town hall in Wolnzach , built in 1878 .
