The Renaissance residence was built in 1532-1537. Over the centuries, it was the seat of the administrative authorities, court and municipal archives. Currently, part of the building has been transformed into a museum. You can see a restored, decorated Renaissance hall, a concert hall and exhibition space.
The most valuable element of the residence's equipment is the 15th-century fireplace located in the Renaissance hall, which was formerly a hall for councilors. It was built of oak, marble and alabaster. The decorations include the image of Emperor Charles V. The fireplace was a tribute to the Habsburg dynasty and a symbol of their power.
The facade of the residence was built entirely of natural stone. It is decorated with numerous reliefs and bronze statues added in the 19th century. Their author was a local artist, Hendrik Pickery. The gilded statue on the roof and symbolizing Justice is also eye-catching. It comes from the period when the building housed a court.
