Summary

[edit]
Description

The first town hall in Lviv appeared shortly after the city government rights (Magdeburg Law in 1357). The building was made of wood and soon it burned down (1381). After the fire the construction of a stone town hall was started. By the end of the middle age the Lviv city hall was a conglomeration of buildings. The middle part of the building was its oldest part, dating from the XIV century. The western part was built in the years 1491-1504. The dominant feature of the composition was the tallest tower, topped by a mannerist shako (1619, architect A.Bemer ). Modern building

A new tower was laid in 1827 and built between 1830 and 1835 following a Viennese Classical style. Authors of the project were architects Y. Markle, F. Thresher (or Treter), A. Vondrashek. The City Hall is a four-story building with a patio, and features a town hall clock tower.

In 1848 during the revolutionary events in Lviv city center the original clock tower collapsed. In 1851 the building was repaired.

Since 1939 the building houses the Lviv city council [Wikipedia.org]
