Regensburg, Germany: Old Town Hall

The Old Town Hall is, appropriately enough, in Town Hall Square in Regensburg. The buildings go back to the 13th century. You can still see gauges on the side of the building that standardized measurements for the town; that's a pretty interesting idea for its time.

This was the seat of the Reichstag, or legislature, for a couple of hundred years. Based on our visit, it's still a good place for a wedding.

You can take tours of the place if you have time. The torture chambers in the basement apparently are still popular.
