Słupsk Town Hall, Municipal hall in Słupsk, Poland
Słupsk Town Hall is an administrative building designed in Gothic Revival style, featuring a 56-meter clock tower that provides panoramic views of the city. Inside are galleries displaying local history and a climbing route with 180 steps that ascends to the tower's viewing platform.
The building was constructed starting in 1899 following a competition-winning design by Karl Zaar and officially opened to the public in 1901. This period marked a modernization effort for the city during the turn of the 20th century.
Inside, the mayor's office retains its original furniture and reflects how local government was arranged in the early 20th century. At noon, a special bugle call rings out from the tower, becoming a daily ritual that residents recognize as part of the city's soundscape.
The building is located at Plac Zwycięstwa 3 and is easily accessible for entering and viewing the interior spaces. Be aware that climbing to the tower's top involves 180 steps, which can be tiring, and clear weather provides the best views from the observation deck.
The building stands on the site of a former lake that was filled in with sand from Northern Wood during the mid-1800s. This transformation allowed the creation of the central plaza where the tower now anchors the city's skyline.
