Town Hall Tower

The Town Hall Tower is the only surviving part of the town hall, built in the early 14th century and dismantled in the 19th century.

The building of the town hall, built of brick and stone, was intended for the work of the Gchorod Council and included a place for the city treasury, a court and even a prison, which was located in the basements of the building.

After reconstruction in 1960, the tower was transferred to the Historical Museum, whose exposition is devoted to the history of the city authorities.

The entrance staircase is decorated with stone lions brought from the Morstin Palace in Plavowice, and on the second floor there are late Gothic portals and stone mascarons of the 14th century. In addition to the museum tour, you can visit the former treasury of the town hall, the satirical theater “Mascaron” and cafes located in ancient basements.
