The Old Town Hall in the town of Chortkiv was built in the 19th century, with a tower added in 1905-08. It is located in the centre of the town, on the square. It is a wooden building with columnar arcades and a clock tower. Next to it, in a separate building, are the wooden and also 19th-century Cloth Hall. It is a two-storey building, with a colonnade. The tower features a four-dial clock made in Switzerland, in Bern, by the Aosta company. It was designed by the famous timepiece designer, engineer Frenkal Hottenshaften. A cockerel-shaped weathervane was placed on the spire of the tower.
