Rathaus Soest, Baroque town hall in Soest, Germany.

The Rathaus features a nine-arched hall on its west side, with the statue of St. Patroclus standing above the grand entrance passage.

The oldest part of the building dates back to 1200, with its baroque wing constructed between 1713 and 1718 during Soest's economic decline period.

The Blue Hall spans two floors behind the arcade, serving as a central gathering space for municipal functions and community celebrations.

The town hall remains the administrative center of Soest, with four wings arranged around an inner courtyard used for public events.

The building contains spaces where Konrad Duden, the influential reformer of German spelling, taught when part of the structure functioned as a gymnasium.
