Town hall of Clamart, town hall in Clamart, France
The town hall of Clamart is a listed monument combining three original buildings that were joined together and refurbished between 1919 and 1923. The structure holds administrative offices, a main council chamber with stained glass, a wedding hall, and commission rooms decorated with paintings and murals.
The town hall was established by combining three historic buildings, including the 17th-century Barral castle and a dovecote built by Guillaume Desprez, both acquired by the city between 1842 and 1894. The buildings were joined and redesigned from 1919 to 1923, with official heritage listings in 1929 and 1989 to protect their significance.
The town hall reflects Clamart's civic identity through its role as the administrative center. Inside, artworks from different periods decorate the main rooms, including a stained glass window from 1989 and cubist murals that mark the building's evolution through time.
The town hall sits in the center of Clamart and is easily accessible from different parts of town. Check in advance if there are open days or official events where you can view the building and its interior artworks.
A notable feature is the nearby dovecote tower dating back to at least 1378, once owned by Guillaume Desprez, a high falconer for the French king. This tower connects the building to centuries of noble presence and the town's craft heritage.
