The Old Town Hall (Altes Rathaus) of Oldenburg is a beautifully preserved Renaissance building that dominates the market square. Its most striking feature is the ornate gable, adorned with decorative scrollwork and a stepped silhouette that reflects the wealth and civic pride of the 16th century. The building's facade is a harmonious blend of red brick and sandstone, with arched windows and a central entrance. Inside, the historic council chambers and vaulted halls evoke the city's administrative history. Today, the Old Town Hall is used for official ceremonies and events, but visitors can often step inside during open days or guided tours. The surrounding market square is lively with cafes and a weekly market, making it a perfect spot to soak in Oldenburg's atmosphere.
Don't miss
- Study the intricate Renaissance gable with its scrollwork and statues
- Visit the historic council chamber (if open) for its original furnishings
- Explore the market square and its weekly produce market
- Look for the coat of arms of Oldenburg above the entrance
