Altenburg’s Rathaus (Town Hall) is a wonderful Renaissance building situated in the centre of the old town on the market square. It was built from 1562, and features a tall octagonal tower rising above the main entrance. Externally, the building has many ornate features such as oriel windows. Inside, visitors are permitted to see the finely decorated main hall which still represents a style of décor long forgotten. It is accessible only on weekdays.
