Town hall, Municipal building in Husovo náměstí, Lysá nad Labem, Czech Republic
The town hall of Lysá nad Labem is a Baroque building on the north side of Husovo Square, constructed in 1746–1747. Its rectangular plan includes an arcade at ground level, and the façade combines yellow plaster with brick-red arches, the southern corner and sculpted elements. A tiled saddle roof with dormers faces the square, and the upper floor connects to a modern annex of the municipal office behind it.
The first town hall was a burgher's house at the south-west corner of what is now Bedřich Hrozný Square, on the site of house no. 265. In the 1740s the estate owner bought it and turned it into a poorhouse, so the townspeople decided to build a new town hall on the north side of Husovo Square. Construction ran from 1746 to 1747; the building is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.
The building on Husovo Square replaced an older town hall that stood at the southwest corner of what is now Bedřich Hrozný Square, in house No. 265. In the 1740s the owner bought that house and turned it into a poorhouse, so the townspeople decided to build a new town hall on the north side of the square.
The arcade (podloubí) runs along the ground floor facing Husovo Square, so the facade is best seen from the square itself. The upper floor connects at the rear to the modern municipal office extension, which is not part of the 1746–1747 building.
