Hôtel de ville de Valenciennes, Historical town hall in Place d'Armes, Valenciennes, France
The town hall displays a 17th-century facade with Gothic architecture characteristic of the Spanish Netherlands and two towers added during the 19th century.
In 1611, Provost Jean Roisin initiated the reconstruction of the municipal building, allocating one-fifth of the city budget over three years.
Sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux created the monumental pediment and several female statues that decorate the facade between the windows of the building.
The town hall, located in central Valenciennes, houses municipal services and provides rooms for ceremonies and public events.
Only the facade survived World War II bombardments, leading to a modern reconstruction that tripled the initial surface area of the building.
