Town hall in Hodkovice nad Mohelkou, Cultural monument in Hodkovice nad Mohelkou, Czech Republic.
The Town Hall of Hodkovice nad Mohelkou is a Neo-Renaissance building at Náměstí T. G. Masaryka no. 1. Its present form comes from an 1889 Neo-Renaissance reconstruction by Franz Wilde, on a building erected in 1811–1812 by Josef Arnold. Since 1995 it has been protected as a cultural monument and forms part of the town monument zone.
A devastating fire in 1806 destroyed much of the town and its records, prompting the construction of this administrative building in 1812. The new structure was part of the community's rebuilding effort and helped restore central governing functions.
The building stands on Náměstí T. G. Masaryka, the square named after Czechoslovakia's first president, and has served as the seat of the town's administration since its documented existence in 1586. Since 1995 it has been protected as a cultural monument within the town's monument zone.
The building is open during regular business hours and houses the municipal offices at Náměstí T. G. Masaryka 1. Visitors should remember this is an active public building, so access to certain areas may be limited for administrative purposes.
The tower was struck by lightning in 1768 and badly damaged, after having burned in 1707. The town hall itself is first documented in 1586 and was rebuilt by Josef Arnold in 1811–1812, then given its Neo-Renaissance form by Franz Wilde in 1889.
