Hôtel de ville de Roubaix, Municipal building in Grand Place, Roubaix, France
The Hôtel de ville de Roubaix is a large administrative building with a central pavilion flanked by two wings. These wings house various municipal services and the Chamber of Commerce on a central square.
Construction began in 1907 under architect Ernest Thibeau and was completed in 1911 when Victor Laloux finished the central pavilion. The building was erected during a period of strong economic growth.
The facade displays sculptures showing textile industry scenes, from cotton harvesting to processing stages. These works reflect the economic identity that shaped Roubaix over many generations.
The building sits on a public square and is easily visible from the outside. Visitors can view the architecture and facade sculptures without needing special arrangements.
During World War I, the building served as headquarters for the German military commandment after occupation by Bavarian troops. This significant chapter in the city's history often goes unnoticed by visitors.
