Historisches Rathaus der Stadt Köln
Germany’s oldest town hall with a skyline‑dominating tower and a mix of architectural styles from many centuries. The building combines a 60‑metre Gothic tower with a 16th‑century Renaissance loggia, and it still houses parts of the city administration. Much of the interest is in the exterior details and sculptural work.

Highlights

- Expect an ornate façade, the symmetrical Renaissance loggia and many carved figures on the tower.
- Parts of the complex were rebuilt in modern style after wartime damage, so you will see different historical layers side by side.
