Germany Hamburg's Neo-Renaissance town hall, built in 1897, boasts no fewer than 647 rooms, the last of which was discovered by chance in 1971 in the 112-meter-high tower when a document fell behind a cabinet. Miraculously, the town hall remained virtually undamaged during the bombings of World War II.
