Today's half-timbered town hall was built in 1579 on the foundation walls of a previous building. As a representative building, it was not surpassed by any other building in the city. Extensive renovation work was carried out on the building in the 19th and 20th centuries. The butcher and baker's department store in the basement, accessible through two arched gates, was built with walls.
