🏛️ The Old Town Hall in Dorsten is one of the city's most striking and historically significant buildings. It is located directly on the central market square (Markt 1) and, together with St. Agatha's Church, forms the historical heart of the old town.

Unfortunately, there's blue-green algae in the lake. Not only do they look unsightly, they also smell unpleasant.
