When you're in the city, you easily spot the historical city hall, where you can visit the peace hall, for just 2€. Inside you can listen to the history of this room, and have a close look at the wooden panels.

On the east side of Prinzipalmarkt, the Historical City Hall is another symbol for Münster and one of the finest examples of secular Gothic architecture anywhere.

The facade is jaw-dropping, and requires a few minutes for its tiers of traceried windows, ogival arches, gables and pinnacles.

This all dates from the end of the 14th century, and reflects the confidence that Münster’s citizens had in their episcopal landowners.

The Peace Hall inside is as old as the 1100s and is clad with wooden panels carved in 1577. The hall was where one of European history’s most important treaties was signed.

In 1648 the Peace of Westphalia brought an end to the Thirty Years’ War and gave birth to the Netherlands as a nation after it broke from the Holy Roman Empire.

From opera singers on the balcony, to people sweeping the steps when they reach a certain age and the exhibits inside.... interesting place
