Town hall, Renaissance town hall at Namesti Svornosti square, Czech Republic
The town hall of Český Krumlov is an administrative building at Svornosti Square featuring four saddle roofs and a ground-floor arcade loggia. Six pointed arches supported by rectangular pillars shape the street-level appearance of the structure.
The building was created in the late 16th century by joining several Gothic houses together. It underwent Classical modifications during the 18th and 19th centuries that shaped its present form.
The town hall displays a ceramic map of Český Krumlov on its arcade loggia and shows the Rosemberg family coat of arms on the Gothic entrance portal. These visual elements tell the story of the city's past rulers and connections.
The building houses the municipal government, a police station, and a museum on the upper floor showcasing historical devices. Access to the ground-floor loggia is typically free, while museum visits require separate admission.
Small engaged columns decorate the high attic wall as a subtle ornamental feature, while glazed Rococo vases sit along the upper edge. These delicate details often escape visitor notice despite revealing the careful craftsmanship of past renovations.
