The Town Hall in Olesno is a neoclassical building from the 1820s, situated in the corner of the eastern frontage of the market square. It was created from the reconstruction of a Baroque bourgeois tenement house, enriched with a high roof and a tower with an onion dome. The neoclassical columnar portico distinguishing the facility, supporting a triangular tympanum with the coat of arms of Olesno, dates back to the end of the 19th century. During World War II, the town hall was partially destroyed. After the end of hostilities, the facility was rebuilt, abandoning the reconstruction of the clock tower. In the second half of the 20th century, the building was the seat of the Municipal National Council, the Jan Nikodem Jaroń Regional Museum, and the Association of Lovers of the Olesno Land. Currently, it houses the Registry Office. Practical information: Sightseeing is possible by arrangement at the office of the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, tel. +48 77 415 13 15.
