Historisches Rathaus von Neustadt, Neustadt (hessen)

Four towers crown the gable roof of the Historisches Rathaus von Neustadt in Germany. All towers have pointed roofs.

 

Each tower has a finial or hip knob. It is a decorative ornament placed at the top or end of poles.

 

Each of the four towers has its box bay window. A box bay window is rectangular and has flat sides. 

The two-story half-timbered Rathaus owes its high stone foundation to an earlier building dating back to the 13th century.

 

The Rathaus can be accessed via a perron or exterior stairs located on both sides. The entrance features a pointed-arch portal, which is the opening to the building.

 

Right below the portal is a bay window capped with a curved roof designed specially to cover this projecting bay.
