The Clock Tower served as the gathering place for the City Council until 1556. Since 1899, it has housed the History Museum. From the top of the Clock Tower, visitors can look down on the red-tiled roofs of the Old Town and see intact 16th century Saxon houses lining the narrow cobblestone streets. Today, merchants and craftsmen still go about their business, as they did centuries ago.
