Standing proud on Edvard Benes Square, this grand and intricately-decorated building is another symbol for Liberec and a reminder of the city’s Austro-Hungarian past.

 It was designed by the Viennese architect Franz Neumann in the alpine renaissance style at the end of the 19th century, and bears a striking resemblance to Vienna’s own town hall.

 The stained-glass windows are exceptionally complex, while the narrow ceremonial tower rises 62 metres above the square.
