The Town Hall (Rathaus) is a magnificent Italian Renaissance building constructed between 1602-1606. It features a distinctive Swiss-style hipped roof and a prominent clock tower. The building sits on the bank of the Reuss River by Kornmarkt, where grain markets were historically held. Under the arcades, a farmers' market still takes place weekly. Inside are a historic meeting hall and city archive. The building can be viewed from outside at any time.
Exterior viewing always available. Interior usually not open to public except during special tours.
Tuesday and Saturday mornings for the farmers' market under the arcades. Photographed best from Chapel Bridge.
