During preparations for successive repairs of the town hall in Środa Śląska, architectonic examinations of its elevations were carried out in 1994 and 1995. Owing to this, the mediaeval decoration of the building became known in the shape from the end of the 15th century, as well as its rich polychromy. They finally became uncovered and partly reconstructed in the years 1996-1997. The Gothic town hall was a two-storeyed brick building, built on the plan of an overturned letter "L" and covered by steep roofs. Its shorter arm was the north wing, while the longer one constituted the east wing with its gable towards the south. A tower adjoined the town hall from the west. And so, the building had five elevation. Two of them; the south one of the east wing and the north one opened directly onto the Town Square, the east elevation was soon covered by adjoining buildings. All the elevations were very representative, and especially the south one was richly decorated. In its forming the following may be distinguished: an unsculptured wall of the first floor, a sequence of windows and blind windows of the first flor, an area of crenels under the moulding marking of the offseting gable, two gable storeys, in each of them a series of blind windows with added bows and separated by pilasters and over each gable storey a surmounting crenel. In the upper storey separated from the ground floor by a frieze, painted on a strip of plaster and with a moulding, there was a series of alternative blind windows and windows (three blind windows and two windows). The original Gothic windows have not been preserved. Rectangular, four-field blind windows have been formed of brick shapes, covered by thin plaster and painting decoration. The blind window polychromies presented glanzing imitation. These were of round shapes or a diagonal grill of divisions. The particular areas were of the following colours: ochre, deep-red, light-green or black. In the extreme, lower casements of the outermost blind windows, instead of glazing imitation double folding shutters were painted. The motive in east blind window is unique. It is a likeness of a man holding a book and a sword with its point turned downwards. This is an element of the iconographic programme which may be allied with the tribute payed to the rules of Silesia by the burghers. Higher, in the gable, four blind windows, and over them further two, shaped only in the central part of the elevation and decorated in the same manner as those of the first storey. They were painted, however, purely in the imitation of glazing. The faces of pilasters and gable walls were also decorated, painted in imitations of tracery. On the remaining elevations of the town hall we find forms which in the most rich assemblage are found on the best examined south elevation. The other elevations were much more simple, the north elevation had relatively the most developed decoration.
