Town Hall Neustadt-Glewe - Baroque architecture in the heart of the old town

The Neustadt-Glewe town hall is one of the architectural highlights of the small town in the southwest of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The freestanding half-timbered building was built between 1802 and 1806 by the master mason Frey and stands directly on the market square of the historic old town, which was first mentioned in a document in 1248. With its completely plastered façade, the town hall blends harmoniously into the image of a mature half-timbered town, which can also be found in a similar form in towns such as Wismar or Stralsund on the Baltic coast.

Baroque and classicist style elements at a glance

The tower clock housed in it runs on clockwork dating from 1900 and chimes every quarter of an hour. In 1996, the town hall was extensively renovated as part of the general urban renewal.
