New Town Hall in Munich

The first thing that catches your eye when you stand in Marienplatz Square is the New Town Hall. The monumental neo-Gothic structure is the hallmark of Munich.

Construction of the New Town Hall lasted for seven years from 1867 to 1874. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the building was reconstructed and completed, resulting in a glockenspile on the main tower. Since the completion of construction and to date, the New Town Hall is occupied by the City Council.

Of particular interest is the facade of the New Town Hall. It is decorated with numerous historical figures, each of which deserves separate attention.
