Radnice v Orlové Town hall

Radnice v Orlové is a unique cultural monument with cubist architecture, located in the Old Square in the village Město. The construction was started in 1927 and completed in 1928 under the direction of the construction master František Trumbek, who added elements of Gočár style to the project. Today's form of City Hall is the result of this reconstruction and serves as the seat of the Deputy Mayor and several departments of the City Office in Orlová. It is protected as a cultural monument of the Czech Republic.

The history of the town hall dates back to the 19th century when it was originally used as a school. In 1889 the municipal office moved to an old school building at square number 76. Over the years, however, space for municipal activities was not enough, which led to the addition of pseudorenesance elements in 1908. In 1925, the City Council announced a competition on the design of a new town hall, won by architects Bedřich Adámek and Eduard Novotný. However, the financial reasons led to the construction being started only a year later under the leadership of František Troubek.

City Hall architecture is characteristic of Gočár's cubism. The construction has a column entrance, which represents one of the key architectural innovations of the time. The original design from Adámek and Novotný was modified by Pipe, which focused on the use of cubist elements, which today represents one of the main attractions of this building.

The ownership and administration of the city hall have gone through several stages. The initial use was educational, then it became the seat of the municipal office. After the reconstruction in 1928, it remains the centre of the local administration and serves also for civil events.

The key events in City Hall history were a public tender on the design of a new building in 1925, the launch of the construction in 1927 and its completion in 1928. These events reflect the architectural development of the period between the two world wars, when new styles such as cubism and Gočár's cubism appeared in the Czech Republic.

Today the town hall serves not only as an administrative centre of Orlov, but also as a place for ceremonial events. Its historical importance and architectural uniqueness make it an attractive destination for visitors interested in the cultural heritage of the Czech Republic. Visiting the Town Hall in Eagle is an opportunity to see not only the beauty of cubist architecture, but also to understand the history of local administration and its evolution.
