The clock tower of the town hall features a unique repeating clock from the mid-19^th century which chimes every quarter hour, giving both the quarters and the hours. On the hour, the number of hours repeats in a different tone. The clock, which is still fully mechanical, chimes 1020 times every day. The building is occupied by the Municipal council. The tower with the clock is accessible with a guide from the information centre.
