New Town Hall

The New Town Hall in Wrocław is a building in the block in the middle of Wrocław's Market Square, erected in the second half of the 19th century as the seat of the city authorities.

History of construction

The town hall was built between 1860 and 1864 to a design by Friedrich August Stüler. It was built of brick in the Neo-Gothic style.

Function of the building

The building serves as the seat of the mayor and the city council of Wrocław. That means the New Town Hall still performs the administrative function for which it was built.
