House 206, government building

The government building was constructed between 1903 and 1905 according to the plans of the princely architect Gustav Ritter von Neumann. The architectural style is based on late Renaissance architecture and stands on piled foundations. The building was opened on December 28, 1905 on the occasion of a parliamentary session; the parliamentary hall was renovated in 1969. When the state police moved out and the prison wing became vacant in 1991, further design measures were introduced. The three-storey rectangular building with central risalit and corner sections is oriented towards the square and has a rich ornamental structure on the west, north and south sides. The eleven-axis main façade is strongly structured architecturally.
