Town hall in Kadaň, Gothic municipal building in Kadaň, Czech Republic.
The Town Hall in Kadaň is a Gothic building that occupies Mírové Square and features a distinctive white tower rising above surrounding structures. From the tower's upper levels, visitors can observe the layout of the town and the river valley stretching into the distance.
The structure emerged as the city's administrative center during the 14th century. A major fire in that same period caused significant damage, yet the city rebuilt and maintained it as a key civic institution.
The building serves as the heart of the square where locals and visitors naturally gather throughout the day. Its white facade and prominent tower have anchored the town's identity for generations.
The tower is open to visitors during summer months for those willing to climb the stairs to reach the upper levels. Plan your visit during clear weather to make the most of the views from above.
Adjacent to the building runs one of the narrowest passages in the country, compressed so tightly that only a single person can pass through at its tightest point. This tiny passageway reveals how medieval cities adapted to extremely limited space.
