The present location of the Market Square dates back to the end of the 15th century. Here can be found the most important municipal buildings, including the Town Hall and 16th century Renaissance arcaded town houses, formerly owned by the wealthiest townspeople. The oldest fragments have been preserved only at the level of cellars and ground floors. The town houses situated around the Market Square assumed their present appearance mostly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. At the beginning of the 20th century the square still functioned as a market.
