Council House, Gothic administrative building in Council Square, Romania.
The Council House displays an architectural fusion of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, marked by a central tower with clock faces on all sides.
Built in 1420 as Brasov's city hall, the structure contained a torture chamber and execution room during the sixteenth century under the Jus Gladii authority.
The building now functions as the Brasov County Museum of History, presenting exhibits about local governance and the medieval development of the region.
Visitors can explore multiple exhibition floors daily, with trumpet performances occurring at 6 PM on weekdays and noon during weekends from the tower.
The building houses the oldest bell in Brasov, restored after 50 years of disuse, replacing the original 1520 bell destroyed in the 1689 fire.
