Typology: town hall
Tags:
The old town hall of #Wrocław, is a landmark of bourgeois gothic architecture. Begun around 1299-1301 as a single-storey trade-focused building with cellars and a tower, it expanded over ~250 years to meet the city's needs. An upper floor with Council and Aldermen's rooms arrived 1328-1333, followed by the Court room in the 14th century. Prosperity fueled rapid growth in the 15th-16th centuries, especially 1470-1510: the Burghers' Hall was re-vaulted, the Great Hall and treasuries added, and the tower rebuilt (1558-1559) with the coat of arms.
