The City Scales provided official control of weights and measures. It was first mentioned in 1279. Today it is the last surviving example of its kind in the Baltic cities. After many alterations and severe war damage, the two-storey building was restored to its original state in 1991 and 1992. The City Scales now houses the municipal children’s library. |
