Arnis Town Hall

Highlight • Monument

Originally the home of a wealthy Arnisser, the legacy ended up in a foundation and the house was donated as a town hall. Incidentally, opening hours: three hours a week. Has to be enough.

Since we're already in the area, we obviously have to visit Arnis... as the smallest town in Germany, it exudes a certain "cuteness factor" 🤩 ... even if it's currently in a deep sleep of hibernation. Everything was closed except for the bakery 😱
