Rathaus Winterthur, Municipal building in Altstadt, Switzerland
The Rathaus Winterthur stands in the old town with a neoclassical facade, featuring arcade-lined passageways and a central light courtyard marketplace layout.
Constructed in 1437, the building underwent major renovations between 1782 and 1785 under architect Johann Ulrich Büchel, who added the monumental front structure.
The building contains the Briner+Kern Museum and displays an inscription plate from the Roman fort Vitudurum, returned to Winterthur in 1967.
Located in district 1 of Winterthur, the Rathaus now functions as the seat of the Great Municipal Council and includes several shops and a bistro.
The structure originally housed a corn market hall for grain trading in its front section facing Marktgasse, with council chambers on the upper levels.
