Town hall in Kyjov, Renaissance town hall in Kyjov, Czech Republic.

The town hall stands as a two-story Renaissance building with a 39-meter tower, featuring characteristic architectural details including sgraffito decorations and a distinctive attic with corner oriel.

Built between 1561-1562 by Italian builders, the town hall served as the administrative center when Kyjov gained royal city status after paying ransom to the Czech Crown in 1548.

The building houses a gallery displaying portraits of former mayors, ceremonial halls for civic events, and serves as a protected cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The town hall currently functions as the municipal office headquarters, offering guided tours through the local information center and hosting various official city ceremonies and events.

A preserved Czech ell measuring standard is embedded in the main portal, historically used to verify the accuracy of merchants' measuring tools at the adjacent marketplace.
