Hôtel de Ville d'Yverdon

The building displays yellow Neuchâtel stone with semicircular openings on the ground floor and a hierarchical composition featuring colossal pilasters on the first floor.

Constructed between 1767 and 1773 under architect Abraham Burnand, the town hall represented the local authorities' independence from Bernese control centered at the castle.

The structure holds national significance as a Class A Swiss cultural property and includes a contemporary art center that replaced the former municipal gallery.

The ground floor maintains its original market function while the upper levels serve administrative purposes for the municipal government of Yverdon-les-Bains.

The former debate chamber functioned as a theater until 1837, demonstrating the building's adaptation to different municipal needs throughout its history.
