Old Town Hall, Toruń

Built on a square plan with an inner courtyard, Toruń's Old Town Hall is a dominant symbol of the city's medieval gothic centre, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

The original building was constructed in the 13th century and later given a make-over towards the end of the 14th century. Most notably, the Old Town Hall features a multistory courtyard and a 40-metre-high clock tower, which is open to climb and enjoy the observation deck at the top. Open seven days a week, it offers a panoramic view of the entire city of Toruń in all its glory!
