Rathaus Kufstein, Municipal administration building in Kufstein, Austria.
Description
Rathaus Kufstein is a protected municipal building that rises above the lower town square, distinguished by its late Gothic coffered ceiling. The structure combines a 16th-century core with a stepped gable facade added in 1923 and currently houses city administrative offices.
History
The building's core was constructed in the first half of the 16th century when Kufstein was an important administrative center. The distinctive stepped gable facade was added later in 1923 and remains its defining feature.
Culture
The building shows how medieval town architecture connects with modern administrative functions, with Gothic details reflecting the town's long history. Visitors can feel this blend of old and new immediately upon entering the square.
Practical
The building sits centrally at the lower town square and is easy to reach on foot, with the surrounding old town offering parking and bus connections. Keep in mind this is an administrative building with limited public access, so it is wise to check in advance if visits are possible.
