Take a tour of Lüneburg Town Hall in Lüneburg, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

Luneburg made its fortune from the salt trade, eventually joining the famous Hanseatic League. As white as the mineral that made the city famous is the Luneburg Town Hall.

The building's pale facade is accentuated by the dark tower rising from the hall's peak.

The greatest feature of the town hall is its expansive and elegant council room.

Outside the front door is the Luna Fountain, depicting the goddess of the moon.

The fifteen statues positioned over, and around the town hall’s entrance give it a strong sense of authority.
