Town hall in Kladno, Town hall in Kladno, Czech Republic

The Kladno town hall is a Neo-Renaissance two-storey building with three wings on an irregular plan, standing on the lower, eastern side of Mayor Pavel Square. Above the main gate and a second-floor balcony rises a square clock tower with two galleries. A facade inscription across the whole width records that it was raised from its foundations in 1897–1898 with God's help.

The first town hall stood in house no. 11 from 1561 to 1843, now the State District Archive; a second, single-storey building with a small tower on the site of the present one served the councillors until 1877. The current Neo-Renaissance building was erected in 1897–1898 to a design by architect Jan Vejrych, built by builder and then-mayor Josef Hrabě.

The former council chamber, now the ceremonial hall, holds Adolf Liebscher's triptych "Coal and Iron", centred on an allegorical female figure of Kladno. On the main staircase hang memorial plaques to Václav Štulc, Antonín Čermák, Jaroslav Selner and Jan Vella, and portraits of city figures line the first and second floors.

The building is located on a central square and is easily accessible on foot, especially from the town center. Visitors should note that some areas may be reserved for administrative work, so viewing is best planned around opening hours.

The facade inscription reads "LÉTA PÁNĚ MDCCCLXXXXVII-VIII ZE ZÁKLADŮ S POMOCÍ BOŽÍ VYZDVIŽEN JSEM" — the Roman numeral contains four X, an unusual spelling of 1897–98. On the north side, the former Hotel U Bílého beránka (1888) carries a bronze plaque to Matěj Bach, Kladno's first known organist, who lived there in 1603–1607.
