History

It was built in 1461 in Gothic style. It was destroyed in the fire in 1515 but it was rebuilt between 1541 and 1553 in Renaissance style. A tower was added in 1642. In 1779 it burned down but was reconstructed in Classicist style. A new floor was also added and the roof was covered with copper. In 1922 the second floor was added to the building.
