Under Prince Casimir II, in 1496 was here built Town Hall. Due to destruction by war or fires the Town Hall was many times rebuilt (last one in 1846). However the late baroque tower dates from 1800 by architect Chambreze de Ryvos.

It was on this spot where according to the legend, in 810 three sons of king Leszko III, Bolko, Leszko and Cieszko, met here and found a spring. In their happiness that they see one other, they’ve decided, in order to commemorate the lucky event, to found a new settlement, which they called Cieszyn (Polish cieszyc stands for being pleased).
