Windsor Guildhall, Grade I listed town hall in Windsor, England
Windsor Guildhall is a town hall in Windsor, United Kingdom, and rises above High Street with an open stone colonnade on the ground floor. The facade shows columns with Corinthian capitals and a cornice with carved stone details from the late 17th century.
The building was completed in 1689 under the supervision of Sir Christopher Wren and replaced an older wooden structure that had previously served as a covered corn market. The town administration used the upper floor from the beginning for council meetings and public affairs.
The Council Chamber displays portraits of monarchs from five centuries on its walls and today hosts weddings and council meetings. Visitors can view the royal paintings up close during public events.
The upper floor accommodates events with up to 100 guests and can be used for private celebrations by prior inquiry. Town administration staff work here and assist residents with questions about local services.
The stone columns on the ground floor do not touch the ceiling and end a few centimeters below it, even though they appear to carry the weight of the upper floor. This construction was meant to show that the walls alone bear the load.
