Vyborg Town Hall, Renaissance Revival landmark in Old Town Hall Square, Vyborg, Russia.
Vyborg Town Hall is a Renaissance Revival building with symmetrical stone facades that rises from the center of Old Town Hall Square. The structure features regular window patterns and solid walls organized to create distinct interior spaces typical of municipal buildings from its era.
The building was constructed in 1643 during the period when Vyborg served as a significant administrative center under Swedish rule. It represents the architectural legacy of an era when the city held an important position in regional governance and trade.
The square surrounding the building remains a gathering place where the community converges for everyday activities and local events. Its symmetrical stone facade has become a backdrop for daily life in Vyborg's older quarters.
The building is easily accessible on foot from the Old Town, located directly on the central square. Visitors can walk around the surrounding streets to view all sides of the structure and understand its place within the city layout.
Architect Brynolf Blomqvist designed the building with Renaissance elements that have endured through centuries of political shifts in the region. Despite changing rulers and administrations, the Town Hall retained its original architectural details and proportions, making it a rare example of continuous identity.
