The two-storey Gothic building, which is under monumental protection, is one of the oldest town halls in Central Germany and its core dates back to the beginning of the 14th century. It was first mentioned in 1310. From 1616 to 1619 (Renaissance portal with city coat of arms) and from 1899 to 1901 it was rebuilt and extended. The ballroom, completed in 1901, is particularly worth seeing (guided tours via the Quedlinburg Information Centre).
