An ideal shortcut. 👍 Warning: Access to the bridge is via 5 steps, meaning you'll have to carry your bike up and down the bridge, and of course, back down again.

The town hall was built between 1587 and 1589 in the High Renaissance style and was much more magnificent then than it is today. High gables, numerous dormer windows, turrets, and rich ornamentation adorned the building.
