Das ursprünglich gotische Rathaus der Stadt Alfeld wurde 1584-86 erweitert und im Stil der sog. Weser-Renaissance umgebaut. Typisch für diesen Stil sind der achteckige Treppenturm und ein Schmuck-Erker, eine Auslucht (niederdeutsch Utlucht) mit Ziergiebel in Renaissanceformen und das neu gebaute Dachgeschoß. Das Rathaus ist aus Bruchsteinen errichtet und verfügt über eine geräumige Kelleranlage, seit der Renovierung 1970 ist es wieder verputzt.
