The Old Town Hall is building with long history and also with many reconstructions and style changes. The Gothic core was built by Master Kilian in 1418 and in the end of the 16th centrury it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. After devastating fires during years 1769 and 1775 was original structure joined with adjacent burgher house and completely reconstructed in the late-Baroque style (1789). Massive prismatic belfry of Old Town Hall is known thanks to unusual Art-Nouveau astronomical clock.
