In the centre of town you will find the large market square, from where you can start a walk around the old town. The main square in Peine dates back to 1220 and has been the setting for life in the town for many centuries. At the square you will find the old town hall. The town has been ravaged by countless fires and several different town halls have been built over the years. The current one dates back to 1827 and several times a day the chimes of the town hall add to the atmosphere of the town.
