New Town Hall in Jablonec nad Nisou, Administrative building in Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic
Description
The New Town Hall in Jablonec nad Nisou is an administrative building featuring a 51-meter rectangular tower with a clock, located at Peace Square. The structure has four wings arranged around a central core and blends modern and traditional architectural styles.
History
Construction began in 1931 following a competition that attracted 177 architects, with Karel Winter's design chosen from twelve finalists. The completion occurred during a period of major shifts in Czech architectural practice.
Culture
The building combines functional design with traditional architectural elements, showing how Czech administrative structures evolved in the early 20th century. Visitors can observe this blend in the interior spaces and the overall appearance of the complex.

The building and its surroundings are accessible from outside, and the square around it offers space to explore the architecture. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when natural light highlights the details of the facade and tower.
Did you know?
The building preserves its original paternoster lift, an unusual elevator system from its construction period. This historic mechanism represents an interesting engineering approach that few buildings still maintain from that era.
