Altes Rathaus, Picture 2, Munchen (Munich), Bayern…

As opposed to the Neues Rathaus, this older Rathaus, on the same square, is genuinely medieval, constructed in about 1310, although as with the New City Hall, construction continued for many years, not being completed until 1394. It was redesigned twice, in 1470-1480 when it was rebuilt in late-Gothic style by the architect Jorg von Halsbach, and again in 1861-1864 in Neo-Gothic style, being completed only 10 years before the city government was moved to the New City Hall. It had to be rebuilt again in 1945-1974 to repair damage from World War II, and now exists in its form post-1974.
