The Old Town Hall captivates with its richly decorated facade. Particularly striking are the carved consoles and the ornate window frames, which are typical of the Baroque period.

The half-timbered construction is characterized by precisely crafted wood connections and decorative bracing, which not only provide structural stability but also contribute to the building's aesthetic appeal.
