Town hall of Mons, Town hall and historic site in central Grand Place, Mons, Belgium
The Gothic-style Town Hall of Mons features a prominent bell tower added in 1718 and stands at the center of the city's main square.
Construction of the Town Hall began in 1458 during a period of economic growth in Mons and continued until 1477 with subsequent modifications through centuries.
The Portrait Room and Gothic Hall maintain collections of decorative elements representing architectural influences from the medieval period through modern times.
Visitors require advance reservations and an official guide to access the interior spaces of the Town Hall, with tours available on weekdays from 8:00 to 16:30.
A small bronze monkey statue stands at the left entrance, which locals touch with their left hand following a traditional belief in good fortune.
