Town hall in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, Neo-Renaissance town hall in Frenštát pod Radhoštěm, Czech Republic.
The two-story town hall topped with a viewing tower has anchored Míru Square since 1891. Its Neo-Renaissance facade and tower structure make it the most prominent building on the central plaza.
The building was constructed in 1891 to replace an earlier structure from 1796. This came after the town received its official charter in 1781.
The interior contains sculptures by local artists, notably a representation of the Slavic god Radegast created by Albín Polášek. These artworks connect the town to its mythological roots.
The tower is accessible to visitors and offers views over the surrounding landscape. Wear sturdy shoes as the stairs are steep.
From the tower, visitors can see the Moravian-Silesian Beskids mountains and the architecture of the surrounding monument zone. This is one of the few vantage points offering a complete view of the entire town.
