The Main Town Hall (Ratusz Głównego Miasta) is a Gothic-Renaissance masterpiece standing at the heart of Gdańsk's Long Market. Built between 1379 and 1492, and crowned with a gilded statue of King Sigismund II Augustus, it houses the Museum of Gdańsk's permanent exhibition on the city's history from medieval Hanseatic glory through wartime destruction and post-war reconstruction.
Originally a Gothic structure, the town hall was extensively remodeled in Renaissance style by Antonis van Opbergen in the 1560s. Severely damaged in 1945, it was painstakingly rebuilt using salvaged original fragments.
