Rathaus Historical Exhibition
The large Rathaus at the square's northern end was built between 1817 and 1819 and today houses the excellent Rathaus Historical Exhibition in its basement. Displays include an original 15th-century Wandmalerei (mural) uncovered by archaeologists in 1985, a glass-covered medieval well, and the Wrangel tomb - the coffin of influential Swedish General Helmut V Wrangel and his wife, with outsized wooden figures carved on top.
