Take a tour of Leipzig Old Town Hall in Leipzig, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Old Town Hall in Leipzig, Germany earned its name because it was built in 1556, almost 350 years prior to the New Town Hall.
Many additions have been made to the building since its creation; one feature that has remained is the beloved painting of Bach, the only one produced during his lifetime.
The initial construction of the Old Town Hall took only nine months.
The Renaissance style architecture and unusual size make for an arresting structure.
A New Town Hall was erected in the early 20th century, replacing most of the functions of the Old Town Hall.
Today, the building houses a museum that details much of Leipzig's culture and history.
