Rathaus, Renaissance town hall in Augsburg, Germany
The Rathaus features three distinct halls spanning multiple levels, including the Lower Fletz, Upper Fletz, and the decorated Golden Hall at the top.
Architect Elias Holl designed and constructed this Renaissance building between 1615 and 1624 to replace an older structure from 1385.
The Golden Hall within the Rathaus displays intricate ceiling decorations, paintings, and sculptures that represent the civic values of Augsburg.
Visitors can access the Lower Fletz and Golden Hall daily, with guided tours providing information about the building's architectural elements and history.
Upon completion in 1624, the Rathaus became the first building in the world to exceed six stories in height.
