Town Hall
Dating from the second half of the nineteenth century building. It has predominantly neo-Gothic style features.  The asymmetric facade of the town hall is distinctive, with a tower in the axis of the main entrance. "Tower" is topped with a parapet with crenellations and two corner towers. On the "tower" Town Hall in 1876 was placed clock - replaced with a new one in 2001. The old Town Hall building for many years no longer meets its function, but since 1993 it flutters the city crest flag and from here you can hear at noon the bugle call Oświęcim - a fragment of a polonaise composed by Alexander Orłowski.
The original building of the town hall was in the center of the market since mid-sixteenth century, renovated in 1792, burned down in a fire in 1863. Works on the new headquarters of municipal oversaw architect Leopold Michla. Since 1875 the municipal office was operated already in the new building until the Second World War and after its end the municipality was located in the Castle. Since 1987 the municipal office is located in the building at Zaborska str. Since 2018 the seat of the Town Hall Museum - a branch of the Castle Museum in Oświęcim. It presents a permanent multimedia exhibition entitled "W przestrzeniach historii. Dzieje miasta Oświęcimia" ("Across the expanses of history - the history of the town of Oświęcim").
