Hôtel de ville de Roubaix, Municipal building in Grand Place, Roubaix, France

The town hall stretches over 100 meters long, featuring a central pavilion flanked by two wings that house municipal services and the Chamber of Commerce.

Construction of the municipal building began in 1907 under architect Ernest Thibeau, with Victor Laloux completing the central pavilion inauguration in 1911.

The exterior sculptures depict textile industry scenes, from cotton harvesting to processing, with two central allegorical statues representing Abundance and Peace.

The building covers 6,000 square meters and maintains administrative offices while preserving its architectural elements from the early 20th century.

During World War I, the German military commandment established their headquarters in this municipal building after the 165th Bavarian Infantry Regiment captured Roubaix.
