Town hall in Blansko, Town hall in Blansko, Czech Republic

The Town Hall in Blansko stands at No. 32 on náměstí Svobody. The three-wing building on an incomplete U-shaped plan has a main facade of 13 window axes, with a five-axis central risalit containing the round-arched main entrance, flanked by pilasters with composite capitals and topped by a balcony three windows wide.

The current town hall was completed in 1885 during the mayoralty of Čeněk Matuška at a cost of 108,000 K, replacing an older town hall with a wooden turret dating from 1648; a house belonging to the farmer Ševčík was also bought for the site. After completion it housed the imperial-royal district court, tax office, library office, municipal office with council hall, town savings bank and the district judge's flat. A clock tower was added in 1904, and in 1905 a marble memorial plaque was placed opposite the staircase.

A marble memorial plaque opposite the staircase, placed in 1905, recalls Blansko's elevation to town status and bears an inscription. The building's name is simply that of the town hall on náměstí Svobody, and its clock tower, added in 1904, marks the square.

The town hall stands on náměstí Svobody, its main facade facing the square. The entrance is in the central axis under a balcony, and the building is still in use by the Blansko municipal authority, so the exterior is best viewed outside office hours.

A marble memorial plaque was placed opposite the staircase in 1905 to mark Blansko's elevation to town status; it carries an inscription recording the event. The building has been a protected cultural monument since 9 December 1996, and its street facade was repaired in 2014.
