In 1635, a Renaissance-style town hall was built on this site by Count Anthony Günther.[1] It was removed in 1886 and the present building was completed in 1888 with elements of the neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic styles. There is a German restaurant in the basement, the Ratskeller Oldenburg.[2]

To the south is St Lamberti-Kirche and to the west is Oldenburgisches Staatstheater.
