The town hall was built in 1502 from a Gothic predecessor and rebuilt in the Renaissance style around 1672. The three gables that still exist today were added at that time. In 1924 a restaurant opened on the ground floor. In the vaulted rooms of the town hall cellar there is still a restaurant serving regional food. The Second World War did not spare the town hall either. The building was badly damaged and its reconstruction took almost 10 years. Since 1986 the town and community library and the Gubin cultural centre with an events hall have been located here. The town and main church is still a ruin but reconstruction is clearly taking shape. At least the church tower is accessible again. Signs indicate when the climb is possible.

Unfortunately, I fell into the same trap today and planned my return trip over the bridge, only to discover with horror that the stairs no longer existed... which unfortunately meant another significant detour via Gubinek... It's a shame it's no longer there.

As the Lausitzer Wandersmann already wrote in 2022, but just as a reminder...the Red Stairs no longer exist.
