Altes Rathaus Stade

The Altes Rathaus Stade is an early modern administration building with a distinctive brick facade, symmetrical window rows, and a prominent roof structure. Inside, representative rooms preserve valuable architectural details that reflect the town's former prosperity.

The town hall was built in 1667 when Stade was a wealthy port city flourishing under Hanseatic influence. Its construction marked the peak of local power and wealth in that era.

The building sits at the heart of the old town and shows how residents governed and shaped their city over time. People still use the square in front as a gathering place where the town's public life unfolds.

The building sits centrally on the market square and is easily reached on foot, especially from the historic harbor area. Visitors should know that interiors are only accessible through guided tours arranged via the local tourist office.

A statue of a Franciscan monk stands in front of the town hall, linking worldly administration with the city's religious past. This figure quietly reminds visitors of Stade's spiritual heritage.
