Wismar Town Hall

Wismar Town Hall (Rathaus) stands on the city’s historic market square, reflecting Wismar’s long Hanseatic past. The present building is mainly 19th-century Neo-Gothic, but it incorporates older elements from the medieval town hall that once stood here. Its elegant façade, central location, and role as a focal point of the UNESCO-listed old town make it an easy and worthwhile stop while exploring Wismar. Visit for a sense of the city’s civic history and to enjoy one of the most important architectural landmarks in the center.
