Tampere Old City Hall, Town hall in Central Square, Finland
The Old City Hall features Renaissance Revival architecture with a palatial design, numerous halls, and a prominent facade at the edge of Tampere Central Square.
Georg Schreck completed the construction in 1890, creating a building that initially housed city bureaus, courts of law, police offices, and poverty reduction services.
The building's balcony served as the platform for reading the Red Manifest during the Great Strike of 1905, marking a significant moment in Finnish democracy.
The City Hall now functions as a venue for official celebrations and ceremonies, with event applications requiring submission three months before the planned date.
Bullet holes from the 1918 Finnish Civil War remain visible in the main staircase, where the building served as the final stronghold for the Red Guards.
