The old town hall of Bamberg, built in the middle of the water, has been selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique location. The Old Town Hall in Gothic style was built in 1462, with beautiful sculptures on the door openings on the bridge and frescoes on the outer walls. It was built on an artificial island. The reason was that the bishop was unwilling to divide his land to build a city hall for the people, so the locals built such a building in the Regnitz River.
