History
editThe town hall was built between 1550 and 1552.[3] The construction of the building was funded by Bishop of Wrocław Baltazar von Promnitz. Formerly, the building was made up of two rectangular buildings, with triangular sides. The town hall underwent an extensive reconstruction between 1821 and 1822, receiving its Neoclassical architectural style. In between 1911 and 1912, the interior of the town hall's Main Hall was decorated with stucco.[4]
