After its two predecessors burned down, it is the neo-Gothic version erected in 1841 modelled on Hof Town Hall that can now be admired. The Mayor of Weimar’s office is contained here, along with the marriage chamber of Weimar Registry Office. One delightful detail is the use of bells made out of Meissen china in the tower’s carillon.
