Town hall, Municipal administrative building in Charleville-Mézières, France.
The town hall of Charleville-Mézières is a large stone building reconstructed after World War I and stands on the central Town Hall Square. The facade displays classical French administrative architecture with symmetrical elements and multiple stories housing municipal offices today.
The building suffered extensive damage during World War I and was subsequently rebuilt from the ground up. Architect Marie-Eugène Chifflot oversaw the reconstruction, which was completed in 1930.
The building holds three heritage designations: registered historical monument, 20th-century heritage, and remarkable contemporary architecture label.
The building is accessible to visitors with administrative matters and sits centrally in the city, making it easy to reach on foot. Look for the town hall facade on the main square when orienting yourself in the downtown area.
The building was formally inaugurated in 1933 with French President Albert Lebrun and Manchester's mayor in attendance. This high-level international gesture demonstrated support for France's post-war reconstruction efforts.
