Augsburg Hotels for Disabled

The town hall remains the main symbol of Augsburg and its most beautiful architectural landmark. The magnificent tower was built in the second half of the 14th century. The first large-scale reconstruction of the building took place in the 17th century. The reconstruction works were led by Elias Hol, a famous architect of that time. It took four years to completely rebuild the tower. The restoration of its inner decorations took four more years. The construction of the town hall has cost huge sums of money, but today the visitors of this magnificent place of interest can enjoy the excellent design of the Golden Hall. By the way, for already more than four centuries the hall has been used as the venue for the most important and special occasions. Tourists will be genuinely interested in walking in the princely rooms, which are also often used to host various meetings and seminars.
