Historical Town Hall of Münster

Münster's Town Hall is a civic administrative building featuring Gothic elements with pointed arches and intricate carved stone details on its facade. The exterior reflects a careful reconstruction following World War II damage and now anchors the center of the old city.

The building was constructed in the 14th century and later became a site of major diplomatic negotiations. Between 1644 and 1648, peace talks were held here that resolved a prolonged European conflict.

The town hall square serves as a gathering place for locals and visitors during markets and celebrations throughout the year. The building itself has become a symbol of the city's identity and draws people interested in experiencing its architectural heritage.

The building is located in the city center and can be reached on foot from the main train station. Visitors should note that access to certain rooms may be limited, so it helps to check information beforehand.

Inside the building is a hall decorated in Renaissance style where peace negotiations took place centuries ago. This room preserves its original acoustics, which played an important role during those historic discussions.
