History
The building was built between 1470 and 1491 under Thomas Altemberger. In 1545 it became the property of the town and was converted into a town hall. The Latin inscription above the door commemorates the visit of Emperor Joseph II. Later, two wings were added to the building. In 1948, the town hall moved to a new building. The old town hall was renovated between 1967 and 1984 and became the seat of the History Museum.
