History

The old town hall was built in the 14th century and was incorporated into the castle wall. It was renovated at the beginning of the 15th century and also at the end of the 16th century, the second time in Renaissance style. After the fire in 1560 the town council moved to the lower castle. The building was damaged in the earthquake in 1879 and the two topmost floors were demolished in 1887 during the reconstruction. There is an exhibition of Baroque sculptures from the churches of the town in the building.
