Gliwice Town Hall, Municipal building in Market Square, Gliwice, Poland.
Description
Gliwice Town Hall is a three-story brick and plaster municipal building sitting in the town square's center. Its rectangular clock tower rises above the roof with an octagonal top, and decorative stonework adorns the facade while a public café occupies the basement level.
History
The building was constructed in the mid-14th century with the earliest records dating to 1390. Following several fires, it underwent architectural transformations that evolved its style from Gothic through Renaissance toward Classical design.
Culture
The town hall houses a wedding chapel and council chamber that remain active spaces for civil ceremonies and municipal events. These rooms serve as the social center where residents celebrate important life moments and local decisions take place.
Practical
The building sits at Rynek 1A in central Gliwice and welcomes visitors year-round. You can enter the basement level to visit the café and explore the public spaces without needing advance arrangements.
Did you know?
The south wall features a carved sculpture of the Virgin Mary, adding religious artwork to this civic building. This religious imagery stands out because it brings a spiritual dimension to what is otherwise a secular administrative space.
