Town hall of Clermont, Oise, Gothic town hall in Clermont, France.
Description
The town hall of Clermont is a Gothic structure built at the end of the 14th century against a tower of the city walls, replacing a former cloth market. Its facade is articulated by three alcoves containing statues of Saint Louis, Robert of Clermont, and Charles IV le Bel.
History
The structure was built during the late medieval period and incorporated an existing fortification into its construction. It was erected on the site of a previously used cloth market, reflecting the economic importance of the location.
Culture
The library on the first floor was established in the 19th century and holds rare treasures such as a moon map by Cassini III and a book printed before 1501. This collection reflects the building's importance as a center of knowledge and learning in the region.
Practical
The building is publicly accessible, though as an administrative facility its visiting conditions may vary depending on current functions. The best time to explore is during regular business hours on weekdays when municipal services are active.

Along Rue de la Fontaine Massé, remnants of the old city walls remain visible in the masonry on the building's side. This fragment demonstrates how the town hall became integrated with the city's fortifications.
