The Town Hall in Nysa is an existing building in the town square, the first mentions of which date back to the 14th century. At the end of the 18th century, the King of Prussia, Frederick II, ordered the dismantling of the facility and the erection of a Protestant garrison church in its place. The town hall tower rebuilt in 2008 reminds us today of the building that once stood in the very center of the town. The contemporary town hall tower is 50 meters high and is crowned with a 30-meter spire. It is an excellent observation point from which you can see the market square, urban buildings, including a complex of bourgeois tenement houses and the basilica with a bell tower, as well as the surroundings of the town – the Opole Lowland and the Eastern Sudetes. An elevator is installed in the tower. The predecessor of today's town hall tower was built in the 15th century and was 94 meters high. It was crowned with a gallery and an octagonal spire decorated with a weather vane and a sphere. It survived until 1945. Practical information: The chapel is open to visitors from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM, on Sundays after the high mass at 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM. For people with disabilities, the church is accessible upon prior notification (wheelchair ramp from Minorytów Street). Free admission.
