Rathaus Rapperswil, Medieval town hall at Hauptplatz, Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland.
The Rathaus stands as a prominent stone structure with a southern tower, featuring late Gothic architecture and intricate architectural details at the main square.
Originally constructed around 1470 on the site of a 13th-century fortified tower, the building received its characteristic southern tower addition in 1614.
The interior contains a Gothic council chamber portal, Renaissance cast-iron stove from 1572, and houses municipal archives with documents from medieval Rapperswil.
The building now functions as a public facility containing a restaurant, café, city archives, and displays collections of stained glass, silverware, and paintings.
During the traditional carnival celebration of Eis-zwei-Geissebei on Shrove Tuesday, the Rathaus becomes the central point of festivities.
