Rathaus Soest, Baroque town hall in Soest, Germany.

Rathaus Soest is a four-wing complex grouped around a large inner courtyard, with wings built in different centuries. Its western part is a symmetrical baroque block of 1713–1718 with a nine-arch entrance hall; behind it lies the two-storey Blue Hall, which opens onto the courtyard through wide passages. The southern wing facing the Patrokli cathedral houses the council chamber, built 1878–1879.

The oldest parts date to around 1200, while the baroque addition was built between 1713 and 1718. This expansion happened during a period when the city faced economic difficulties.

The nine-arched hall of the baroque west wing was once rented out to merchants; behind it, the two-storey Blue Hall opens onto the courtyard through large openings. The east wing on Vreithof carries the inscription "Mut unde Frede" (courage and peace) and formerly housed the Archigymnasium. The courtyard is still used for public events.

The building is easily accessible from outside and the arcades on the west side provide covered passage in bad weather. The inner courtyard is a pleasant area to explore the different wings when the weather is good.

The east wing on Vreithof carries the inscription "Mut unde Frede" (courage and peace) and once housed the Archigymnasium; it was raised by an extra storey as early as 1854. The nine-arched arcade of the baroque west wing was formerly rented out to merchants.
