Town Hall Rotterdam

The town hall is one of only a few buildings in the city that survived the bombing during World War II. It is a neoclassical, symmetrical building with a clock tower above the main body.

The town hall was built in 1905-1912. It is a four-wing structure with an internal courtyard with a small fountain. The town hall building itself refers to Dutch Renaissance architecture. The main facade has a front projection with two rows of windows and a balcony often used as part of the celebration of municipal and national holidays. Speeches are made from it, and invited guests perform here.

The interior of the town hall has a reminiscent of the Renaissance, but the paintings decorating the walls are stylistically combined with the secession at the beginning of the 20th century. The walls are decorated with half-columns and pilasters with classicizing finials.
