Landmarks
Wieluń's town hall stands on the western side of the old town, directly adjoining the Gothic Krakowska Gate — the only surviving city gate in Wieluń. This late Classicist building from 1842 serves as the seat of the municipal authorities and is one of the town's most recognisable landmarks.
An earlier town hall stood in Wieluń, but it was demolished in the 19th century; in 1842 the present building was added to the Krakowska Gate. The medieval gate tower has served as the town hall tower ever since and remains a valuable remnant of the former city walls.
The two-storey building was erected on a rectangular plan. A string course divides the storeys, and the walls are crowned by a Classicist dentillated cornice. Its most distinctive detail is the tower clock, installed in 1940 — it came from the destroyed parish church of St Michael, whose secured foundations can be seen a few steps away, in the heart of the town.
The town hall stands at Plac Kazimierza Wielkiego, in the centre of the old-town ensemble. On weekdays it houses municipal offices, so the best experience is a walk around the building with views of the gate and the nearby remnants of the fortifications. Within a hundred metres you will find further traces of the past: the city walls, the site of the former castle and the foundations of the collegiate church.
