Exploring Liberec? Check out Liberec City Hall, one of the most famous landmarks in the city.
The Liberec City Hall is located in the most beautiful square in the city; Edvard Benes Square. It actually wasn’t even built by a Czech but rather by an Austrian architect. It was built by Franz Neumann of Vienna and therefore resembles the town hall building in the Austrian capital.
If Ještěd is the number one architectural gem in Liberec, then the Liberec Town Hall is right behind it. With its Neo-Renaissance style, beautiful balcony, and statue of the Knight Rolan, the town hall really stands out.
Take your time admiring the details carved into the building and the stained glass windows that stand out because of their beauty. So much detail and time was put into creating this masterpiece. It’s safe to say it’s one of the most beautiful town halls you’ll ever run into.
- Around the town hall, you will find tons of cute cafes, restaurants, flower shops, and museums. The buildings surrounding the square are also all very colorful and really bring the square to life.
- There are tours that take place in the square and allow you to have access to the tower that overlooks the city. Tours can be done in a handful of different languages. English included!
- The Liberec Town Hall is a popular place for gatherings and even weddings. There’s a good chance if you’re exploring the area that you may run into a wedding taking place in front of the town hall. Don’t get any “wedding crashers'' ideas now though!
