Gothic architecture dating back to the present day has survived only in small fragments, which can be seen from a distance in a complex of tenement houses towering over their roofs.
The monument is an octagonal turret with a typical gothic front wall, built of red bricks with characteristic decorations. There is a clock and a 16th-century bells on the tower. The historic part of the old town hall gives the impression of being stuck to the peaks of historic tenement houses.
The history of the Brodnica town hall starts in the fourteenth century, because it was then that the first building was built for the then municipal authorities. Between 1598 and 1646 a Protestant church was operating in the building. At that time the town hall was also burned down and as a ruin was sold and then partly rebuilt and adapted to residential functions. Eventually the construction was largely dismantled in 1868 leaving only the fragments preserved to this day.
