Town hall in Český Dub, Renaissance town hall in Český Dub, Czech Republic

The town hall in Český Dub stands in the middle of Bedřich Smetana Square. The two-storey brick building has a rectangular plan, with an eight-sided five-storey tower at its northern corner topped by an onion dome with a lantern. The roof is gabled and covered with tiles, and the south-west part projects as risalits.

Jan of Oppersdorf, who received the Český Dub estate from Ferdinand I, had the town hall built in 1565. A 1694 fire damaged it and repairs lasted until 1733, with further work in 1800/1801. In 1905–1907 it was rebuilt to a design by Vienna architect Wilhelm Klingenberg, executed by Liberec architect Ernst Schäfer, adding a south wing with a council hall.

The town hall stands in the middle of Bedřich Smetana Square, and in front of it is a Baroque plague column erected in 1723. It carries a statue of the Virgin Mary with Saints Florian, John of Nepomuk, Francis Xavier and Roch, given in thanks for the town's protection during the plague of 1713–1714 and the fire of 1713.

You can arrange guided tours of the town hall through the local Tourist Information Centre, which can explain the building's architectural features in detail. It is worth checking beforehand if the building is open for visits, since it may occasionally close for official functions or events.
