Town Hall Güstrow
The Güstrow town hall stands with the parish church on the market square in the centre of the old town. It is the most important civic secular building in Güstrow. The old town hall can be seen again in its new beauty. It has gained a special openness for Güstrowers and can be visited by visitors as a tourist attraction in the heart of the Barlach town.
