The buildings lining the Rynek, officially known as Plac Wolności, are a pleasing blend of architectural styles. The octagonal Renaissance tower (1567) of the Italianate town hall in the centre gives the square an almost southern European feel. Next to the town hall is an elaborate baroque plague pillar (1737) dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
