Town Hall, Grade II listed town hall in Beaumaris, Wales
Town Hall stands on Castle Street with a balanced facade of five sections featuring rounded openings and decorated stone details on the upper floor. The building combines administrative and commercial spaces within a neoclassical design that has served the community for over 200 years.
The current building was completed in 1785, replacing a previous Elizabethan structure that had stood since 1563. This transition from Renaissance to neoclassical design reflected how the town's core evolved over centuries.
The first-floor ballroom served as a social gathering space for performances and celebrations throughout the region. The ground floor operated as a marketplace where residents shopped and conducted daily business.
The building still functions as the meeting place for Beaumaris Town Council and remains an active administrative center. Visitors can admire the classic architecture from outside, and parts of the interior may be accessible during official events.
During World War II, the building offered refuge and food to the crew of a ship damaged by a German torpedo attack. This remarkable wartime episode is an often-overlooked part of its local story.
