Huge thanks to our guide who told us so much about this Renaissance town hall. Built on the profits of a salt monopoly in the 14th to 16th century, the Rathaus has some magnificent rooms behind a Baroque facade popped on in a later era. Superb wood carvings, paintings and trompe l'oeil tiled floors. And a very long hall where the better part of the county used to dance the night away. Having its piano tuned ready for a concert when we visited. There were just 8 of us on the tour for which you just turn up and pay a small sum on the day.
