Altes Elberfelder Rathaus, Architectural monument in Elberfeld, Germany

The three-story Classical building features stone facades made of Londorf basalt lava and sandstone decorations, with a central tower dominating its structure.

Construction began in 1828 under architect Johann Peter Cremer, replacing a medieval castle that burned down in 1537 at the same location.

The building now houses the Von der Heydt Museum, transforming from its original administrative function into a center for art exhibitions.

Located between Willy-Brandt-Platz and Friedrichstrasse in central Wuppertal, the building underwent major renovations from 1986 to 1990 to expand exhibition spaces.

The building received official monument status on November 29, 1984, marking its inclusion in Wuppertal's list of protected architectural heritage sites.
