The monument in the Market Square was erected to honor seafarers in 1919. It is a fountain designed by Wilhelm Gross and founded by the Heptenmacher family.
The City Hall is located in the center of the city, in the western frontage of the market square. The town hall currently has late Baroque and classicist forms. Founded on the plan of an elongated rectangle. Partially basement, one-story, covered with an asymmetrical hipped mansard roof.
The building is made of brick, plastered. Wooden ceilings with soffit, above some basement rooms - barrel vaults with lunettes. Roof covered with ceramic tiles - plain tile.
The front elevation with a separate plinth, divided by a parapet cornice under the windows of the 1st floor, topped with a profiled under eaves cornice. On the axis of the facade a late Renaissance portal of the main entrance. Two windows on either side of the portal topped with triangular pediments and covered with profiled bands, identical to those around the first floor openings. The side portions of the façade and the northern elevation are divided by recesses in the shape of semicircular closed arcades, into which are inscribed window openings closed with segmental arches.
The remaining elevations are devoid of detail, except for a flat cordon cornice dividing the rear elevation. The blind south side wall shows remnants of the wall of a neighboring tenement with arches indicating that the rooms are vaulted.
The relief on the side of the Town Hall shows a knight with a sword at his side, the representative granting the settlement municipal rights. He indicates to the farmers what land the city will encompass, and a seated scribe describes this historical event. The first city builders are also here, digging a moat and piling up the city ramparts. The sea can be seen in the distance.
A relief to the north shows boat builders constructing a sailing, two-masted merchant ship in Darlowo's shipyard. In the distance one can see bourgeois townhouses. Darlowo was famous for building sturdy ships as early as the 14th century, which enabled sea trade and expeditions to Skanni for salted fish.
The relief on the eastern side depicts a holk, which originated from a large Hanseatic koga. This three-masted holk had a caravel plating, two cruise sails and one Latin sail. It also had an enlarged castellum at the bow and stern. It was often used in Northern Europe.
From the south, the relief depicts the city's pastures. There you can see a sheep herder and a goose shepherdess knitting. In the distance, the artist marked the silhouette of St. Mary's Church. For a small monthly fee, people could donate their cattle, flocks or geese to the city shepherds for grazing. Goose meat, especially liver, was the best export product of the former Darlow.
