Municipal Buildings And Tolbooth, Castle Street, Aberdeen
Municipal Buildings And Tolbooth, Castle Street, Aberdeen, Category A listed municipal complex in Aberdeen, Scotland.
The Municipal Buildings and Tolbooth on Castle Street features a square three-story tower with ornate granite details and a prominent spire reaching skyward.
Originally constructed between 1615 and 1627, the Tolbooth served as both a prison and town hall before expanding into the current Municipal Buildings complex.
The building maintains its role as a central administrative hub, housing council chambers and municipal offices that manage local government operations in Aberdeen.
The structure contains multiple sections, including the eastern Tolbooth area, which now functions as a museum displaying artifacts from Aberdeen's administrative history.
The granite construction of the Municipal Buildings reflects traditional Aberdeen architecture, with sixteen bays and multifoil window decorations throughout the facade.
