Frankfurt Town Hall, as it stands today, is made up of a hotch-potch of different buildings. The first buildings to be constructed here were the Zum Römer House and the next-door guest-house, Goldener Schwan in 1405. Over the ensuing centuries more and more buildings were added, and others demolished. At the beginning of the 20th century, two building complexes (north and south) were erected next to Paulsplatz, and were joined by a bridge. Designed in a Renaissance and Baroque architectural style, these buildings fit in well with the earlier buildings. They are decorated with reliefs depicting local events, such as the the harvesting of cider apples. One particular draw is the exquisitely decorated Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall) in the Rathaus. The Rathaus is the seat of the Lord Mayor of Frankfurt.
