Town Hall
The town hall was built in Renaissance style in 1573–1575 and is a landmark of the city.
A historic measuring standard survives on the richly decorated main portal, so traders and customers could check lengths at the market.
Until the early 20th century, a watchman lived in the town hall tower to raise the alarm in case of fire. A manually played carillon has sounded from the tower lantern since 1988.
