The Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall) is, with the Dom, the most famous sight in Bamberg. It is on a small island between the civilian and religious towns. The core of the building is 15th-century Gothic but it received a Baroque exterior during the mid-18th century. Note the angel’s leg sticking out at the bottom of the wall in an attempt to add some 3-D! On the south side is the Rottmeisterhaus, a half-timbered house that seems to piggyback on the main building. This 1688 building was erected on the pontoon of the bridge, but from many angles seems to float in the air. The Altes Rathaus now houses the Sammlung Ludwig (Ludwig Collection), a mostly Baroque porcelain collection donated by the Ludwigs.
