Town Hall and the Seven Houses

The uniqueness of the City Hall of Jelenia Góra is reduced to its connection with seven tenements, which form an extensive complex with the town hall tower. The tower is a crooked chapel, and at its top is a gallery and a clock. The main, two-storey building of the Town Hall dates back to the 18th century, but traces of medieval Gothic predecessors, bearing a much longer history of the object, remain in the cellars.

The complex of seven houses was a result of the expansion of the early twentieth century, when it turned out that the town hall rooms did not meet the needs of the city authorities at that time. Seven adjacent townhouses were bought and attached to the main building. The resulting arcuate passage is the effect of the tram running between the houses. Up to this day the building is said to be: "Town Hall and Seven Houses" fixing this historic event.

Presently, the existing structure is of a classical character and is equipped with two entrances. One of them was inscribed with the inscription referring to the founding of the city in 1108 by Boleslaw the Wrymouth. The historic interiors of the Town Hall are decorated by Ernst Rülke's sculptures and a bas-relief in the Chamber.
