Ratusz w Oświęcimiu

Ratusz w Oświęcimiu is a brick structure built in the Gothic Revival style with a prominent clock tower, distinctive arched windows, and traditional architectural details from that period. The building served as the city's main administrative center after its completion in the 1870s.

Construction of the town hall took place between 1872 and 1875, creating a new administrative center for the growing city. The building has remained a key landmark in the townscape and represents the architectural development of Oświęcim during the 19th century.

The building now hosts exhibitions about how the city developed from medieval times to the present day. These displays show the changing character of Oświęcim and the role this structure played in community life.

The town hall is open to visitors and easily accessible, with exhibition spaces spread across multiple floors of the building. Ground floor areas include preserved prison cells where you can examine historical documents and artifacts connected to the city's past.

The museum collection includes a Praga-Oświęcim Baby, a small car from 1936 that was manufactured in Prague and assembled locally. This vehicle tells the story of how the region once participated in the early automobile industry of Central Europe.
