Why Go
The Town Hall was finished in 1404, and Old Thomas, a weather vane of a town guard, has watched over it from the spire since 1530. Its tower can be climbed in summer.
On a corner of the square, the Town Hall Pharmacy has been in business since at least 1422, and a small museum shows its old remedies. The square fills with a Christmas market in December.
