Im Zentrum des historischen Stadtkerns liegt einer der schönsten Repräsentativbauten der Weserrenaissance: das Mündener Rathaus. Seit dem Mittelalter Sitz der örtlichen Obrigkeit über die Bürgergemeinde, hat es diese Funktion bis heute bewahrt. Hier befinden sich Teile der Stadtverwaltung, das Standesamt und die Tourist-Information. Das Rathaus wurde in den Jahren 1603 bis 1618 durch den Lemgoer Baumeister Georg Crossmann umgebaut und erhielt seine heute unverwechselbare Schmuckfassade. Den Kern bildet ein gotischer Saalbau aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Die Reste eines Staffelgiebels aus dieser Zeit sind an der Südseite des Gebäudes noch heute zu erkennen. In der unteren Rathaushalle, dem ehemaligen "Koph-Hus", erzählen Wandmalereien von 1927-29 Auszüge aus der Stadtgeschichte. In der oberen Rathaushalle, dem ehemaligen "Hochtiedshus" (Hochzeitshaus), finden heute vielfach Ausstellungen statt. Am und im Rathaus gibt es noch viel zu entdecken: Holzherzchen der Hochzeitspaare, Inschriften und Wappen, Hochwassermarken und die Elle neben dem Schmuckportal, die Maßeinheit früheren Markttreibens. An der nördlichen Schmuckseite des Rathauses erklingt täglich um 12.00, 15.00 und 17.00 Uhr ein Glockenspiel, dessen Figurenumlauf eine Szene aus dem Leben des weltberühmten Doktor Johann Andreas Eisenbart darstellt.
