Radnice v Brandýse nad Labem, Renaissance town hall in Brandýs nad Labem, Czech Republic

The town hall of Brandýs nad Labem consists of two adjoining buildings, No. 1 and No. 2, on the north side of Masarykovo náměstí. No. 1 is a corner structure with a high hipped roof, a central triangular gable, and a hipped roof topped by a prismatic clock tower with an octagonal belfry and onion dome. No. 2 has a saddle roof and a balcony with wrought-iron railing.

The town hall occupies a site bought by the city in 1508 from Johanka of Krajek, who had acquired the house from reeve Jiřík; a salt store was then kept there. A Renaissance tower was later demolished. The building was destroyed in 1639 during the Thirty Years' War, repaired before 1661, damaged again in 1740 and rebuilt in Baroque style. In 1837 the arcade was walled up and the house expanded into No. 2; around 1900 both received Art Nouveau adjustments.

The wall painting between the first-floor windows of No. 1, set in a stucco frame, shows Emperor Rudolf II raising Brandýs to a royal chamber town in 1581. The sources do not name its painter. In the gable of No. 2 an ornamental cartouche carries a double-tailed lion on a red field.

The building today serves as a public administrative center for the twin towns of Brandýs nad Labem and Stará Boleslav. Visitors can admire the Renaissance architecture from outside and explore the historical details of the ornate facade and clock tower.

The roof lantern is not a simple dome: it has a prismatic clock section, an octagonal belfry, and an onion-shaped cap topped by a finial and a Latin cross. The clock faces two sides. The original Renaissance tower was demolished, so this crown dates from later work.
