Altes Rathaus, Leoben, Medieval town hall in Leoben, Austria.

The Altes Rathaus features a pentagonal tower rising 29 meters high with clocks on each side and decorative sun and moon hands.

The building originated from three medieval homesteads in 1485 and served as municipal headquarters until the New Rathaus completion in 1973.

Emperor Charles VI's visit in 1728 led to the addition of a coat of arms frieze representing Habsburg crown lands on the western facade.

The eastern section reopened as Live Congress Leoben in 2022 after renovations costing 10 million euros to enhance congress and trade capabilities.

The building displays an iron-eating ostrich above the frieze, representing Leoben's connection to the iron industry through this heraldic symbol.
