The Old Town Hall

This building is based on the Gothic town hall, first recorded in the year 1397. In 1537-39 it was rebuilt in the Renaissance style. Worthy of note is the staircase and wood-paneled assembly hall, with its relief decoration of Czech rulers and townspeople. On the outer buttress there is a copy of the oldest outdoor sculpture in the town, the statue of Roland. The original can be seen in the museum exhibition. The Czech yard-stick is fixed at the bottom of the buttress, there to check measurements for merchants and buyers in the Middle Ages. Two coats-of-arms are situated in the arcade, one of the empire and the other of the town, and in the centre of the five pillars can be seen the remains of the gibbet. The building served as the Town Hall up to the year 1839. Now it is home to the Regional Homeland Museum.
