Altes Rathaus, Renaissance Revival town hall in Gotha, Germany.
The Altes Rathaus features a 35-meter tower with observation platform and displays red facade colors that earned its informal name Red Town Hall.
Between 1640 and 1646, the building served as residence for Ernst I, the first Duke of Sachsen-Gotha-Altenburg, before he moved to Friedenstein Castle.
The northern portal of the building displays portraits of Ernestine dukes, while the western entrance exhibits regional princely coats of arms.
The Altes Rathaus currently houses the mayor's office and several municipal departments of the Gotha city administration.
The building contains a head sculpture with a movable lower jaw, which local folklore identifies as belonging to Knight Wilhelm von Grumbach, executed in 1567.
