Oława town hall, Classical town hall in Oława, Poland

The town hall features a 58-meter-high square tower on its east side, topped with an octagonal structure and baroque roof design.

The original building from the 14th century underwent multiple reconstructions, with architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel directing the neoclassical renovation between 1823 and 1824.

The clock tower contains mechanical figures from 1718 that move to display different scenes, including representations of death and King Solomon.

The building houses the city administration offices, with the mayor's office on the first floor and the district library on the second floor.

The tower clock mechanism, known as 'The Death of Oława,' was commissioned by Duchess Luise and crafted by local artisans.
