The north-east side of the market square is occupied by the town hall. The town houses on the south-east and south-west sides were rebuilt in the Baroque style. The most notable examples are the Monin Palace, which was reconstructed between 2002 and 2009, and the late-Baroque town houses near the current Harnaś restaurant from the 1990s. The north-west side, on the other hand, was rebuilt without any reference to the original architectural style. In particular, the neo-Renaissance building of the Old Stock Exchange was not rebuilt.
