Liberec - Town Hall Radnice

The impressive Flemish style neo-Renaissance Town Hall (Radnice) is the most noteworthy piece of architecture in Liberec. Built in 1893, the Town Hall looks more like a cathedral or palace than an administrative building. It dominates the main square (Benes Square). The three copper cupolas can be seen on the skyline from a distance.

The town hall was built to mimic an edifice in Vienna by Viennese architect F. Neumann, as a reminder of the town's German speaking heritage. The main square that the town hall sits on is named for Edvard Benes, the man responsible for having the German's expelled from Liberec.
