Town Hall, Town hall building in Benešov nad Černou, Czech Republic.

The Benešov nad Černou Town Hall is a one-storey Gothic-Renaissance house on a rectangular plan, set slightly upslope in the middle of the north side of the square. Its ground floor has six bays, with two semicircular stone portals bearing Rosenberg five-petalled roses; the portal above the entrance ends in a projecting cornice. A saddle roof covered with bobrovka tiles tops the building, and frescoes of a swan and an alliance coat of arms flank a sundial on the first-floor facade.

The town hall was built in 1594, possibly on the site of an older structure. A brewery founded in 1570 by Rožmberk regent Jakub Krčín z Jelčan already stood on part of the plot. After Petr Vok z Rožmberka died in 1611, Jan Jiří ze Švamberka granted Benešov citizens the right to brew beer and hold annual markets on Easter Tuesday and St James's Day. The building was repaired in 1995.

The facade carries two frescoed coats of arms at first-floor level: the swan of the lords of Švamberk and an alliance coat of arms belonging to Countess Marie Magdalena di Biglia, from the period when Benešov passed to the Buquoy family. Jan Jiří of Švamberk granted the townspeople the right to brew beer and hold annual markets on Easter Tuesday and St James's Day.

The town hall stands mid-slope on the northern side of the square, with the information centre, municipal library and doctors' surgeries in the adjoining house No. 125 to the west. In front of the facade, in the green strip, are the Baroque plague column with St John of Nepomuk and one of the town's three Baroque fountains.

The two semicircular stone portals in the ground floor are carved with the five-petalled roses of the Rožmberk family, and the facade carries a sundial flanked by two fresco coats of arms: the swan of the lords of Švamberk and an alliance coat of arms linked to Countess Marie Magdalena di Biglia and the Buquoy era.
