Altes Rathaus Nürnberg
Located in Nuremberg
Wikipedia
Nuremberg City Hall (German: Nürnberger Rathaus) is located in the old town of Nuremberg, Germany, just east of the choir of the Sebalduskirche. It is part of the Historic Mile of Nuremberg as one of the city's sights. The imposing Renaissance building was designed by architect Jakob Wolff the Younger (1571–1620). It was severely damaged during World War II and was largely rebuilt in the 1950s. In the process, the structure was shortened by two window axes on the north side. On the south side is a core Gothic hall designed by Albrecht Dürer. The Lochgefängnisse, located in the basement, are considered a tourist attraction, as is the Beautiful Fountain, located directly in front of the New City Hall, designed by Kurt Schneckendorf and built from 1954 to 1956. This building replaced the row of houses between the Old Town Hall and the Hauptmarkt, which had been destroyed during the war.
