The less famous side

This is the town hall (Rathaus) in Stralsund, Germany. But I bet, that if you look it up on the Internet, this is not the side of the building you will be shown a picture of. The main facade is quite famous (and rightly so), but that does not mean that the other sides can't be beautiful too. (I have uploaded a shot of the front ages ago - literally ages ago.)

 

The building of the town hall was begun in around 1230 and it is a built in the brick Gothic style (Backsteingotik in German), a quite spectacular medieval style built from bricks, found in northern and central Europe - it was very popular in the Hanseatic area.
