Went just to see the architecture but couldn't figure out how to get inside and there was construction happening around it so maybe that's why. Anyway it was a very beautiful building from the outside, worth seeing if you're in the area
The town hall is a historical building along with the old town hall tower and clock.
The town hall in Cologne is famous for its loggia, the Renaissance façade and is beautiful. It is Germany's oldest city hall with a documented history spanning some 900 years. During the bombing the entire city hall was destroyed except for the front portion and part of the tower, the remaining part being rebuilt in modern style.
The Rathaus Koln is the administrative building of Cologne city and the offices of the Mayor of the city. The building is an eclectic mix of style with extensions clearly having been done over centuries using whatever architectural style was in vogue at the time. The Gothic tower is over 60 metres high and is very impressive looking, dominating the skyline around Rathausplatz and the many architectural sculptures that adorn the tower. The entrance to the city hall with it’s16th century Renaissance style loggia and cloister is beauty of symmetry.
After the Cathedral, this beautiful medieval building is the major attraction of Cologne.
It's a working town hall, in fact when I went there was a wedding party outside, and an extension with modern architecture is juxtaposed to the medieval part.
Amazing building from the outside, but I was disappointed that they only allowed you on the first floor Rich really didn't show you much of the building. Perhaps they just weren't showing the whole building at that time but not speaking German it was difficult for me survey the situation
Custom building for the town hall. Although of course this is only the old part, namely the tower, everything else is not the most striking modern part. But in Germany you expect to see something like Munich, Vernigorod or, in extreme cases, the Weimar town hall. And here is almost a castle. )
As a tourist, I totally appreciated the place for its stunning beauty and architecture.
A picture of it is a must!
