Here's another word I found during my trip round the Baltic Sea this summer: rotušė, the Lithuanian term for town house. The original German word is Rathaus. What you see here is the town hall of Kaunas (possibly including the mayor).
Polish and Russian also have words that come from Rathaus - ratusz and ратуша/ратгаус (ratuša/ratgaus) respectively. The Russian ратуша seems to have entered the Russian language via the Polish ratusz, howewer.
