The Jewish Town Hall (Židovská radnice), currently home to the Federation of Jews Religious
Communities in Bohemia and Moravia and the Jews Religious community in Prague, was created out of the revamp given to the original
town hall of Maisel, a contemporary of Rabbi Löw and a man of inordinate wealth and discriminating taste. It was erected by
builder Pankras Roder in the late 1500-s. The late Baroque remodelling was carried out by the architect Josef Schleisinger in 1763.
On the town hall roof stands a wooden turret and a clock with Hebrew figures whose hands turn anti-clockwise.
