Sonneberg: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Sonneberg's historic market square has been the spatial center of the city since the late Middle Ages. After the city fire of 1840, the center was rebuilt according to the former layout; this includes the Old Town Hall, which was built in 1844/45. This makes the square particularly interesting for travelers interested in the city's architectural history.
