It is probably the most beautiful library in the city – the law library in the New Town Hall impresses with its high walls of books, the wrought-iron spiral staircases and the Art Nouveau gallery. The reading room was opened in 1843 and moved to the newly built New Town Hall in 1906. Since then, it has served all those interested in law as a retreat for reading and studying. Lectures, discussions and readings also take place here from time to time.
You could easily think that a few scenes for the “Harry Potter“ films were shot in this magical place, but the library has served as a backdrop for other stories - your guide, who will accompany you, will certainly know which ones they are.
