History

The town's first town hall stood on its site. In 1537, it was already mentioned as a council house. The Renaissance-style building housed the Council of Hundred Men on the ground floor and the Senators on the first floor. It was badly damaged by fire in 1798. After the earthquake of 1826 it was in such a state that it had to be demolished. The new town hall was built from 1840 to 1845 to the design of Kagerbauer Antal.
