Blomberg - Rathaus

A saxonian settlement had probably existed here since the 6th century, but the town of Blomberg was founded around 1240 by Bernhard III. zur Lippe, the ruling lord of the Principality of Lippe. His grandson Simon I. zur Lippe built a castle as his residency and fortified Blomberg.

The Rathaus (town hall) in the center of the town was built in 1587. After a fire, the three gables (left) got reerected in a simplified style in 1830.
