Town hall with fountain

The Town Hall with Fountain is an administrative building in Laufen distinguished by a prominent stone fountain at its entrance. The structure sits at the center of the town and forms a key landmark in the local landscape.

The building was constructed during a period when Laufen developed as an administrative center. Its design reflects the regional building approaches that were common during that time.

The town hall serves as the administrative heart of Laufen and displays features typical of Swiss building traditions. The fountain at its entrance acts as a gathering spot where locals naturally pause while moving through the town center.

The building is centrally located in Laufen and easily reached on foot. It operates during standard business hours on weekdays and provides accessible facilities for all visitors.

The fountain was traditionally used as a water source before running water was common in homes. Today it serves more as a visual landmark than a practical utility, yet retains its role as a space where people naturally gather.
