Koszeg - Town Hall

The Town Hall (adjoining the museum) was built in several phases; the covered embrasures on the north side are 14th/15th C Gothic; the Attic columns, covered by the twin pediments, are Renaissance, the inner doors Baroque, the main door Classical in style. The painted front is also Baroque (1712); on the outside the crest on the left is that of the Jurisics family, that in the center that of old Hungary and that on the right shows the coat-of-arms of the town of Koszeg. In between are paintings - probably late 19th C - of the Virgin Mary, patron saint of Hungary, and of King Stephen.
