radnice v Trhové Kamenici Town hall
The former radnice v Trhové Kamenici, located on the northwest edge of Rais Square, is a Baroque monument with a prism tower. This building was originally built in the Baroque and restored after a large fire in 1834. It is an important historical object of a small town in the district of Chrudim, now serving as a restaurant known for its architecture and history.
The history of City Hall dates back to the Baroque period. After the fire in 1834, the building was reconstructed and its characteristic prism tower was added, which also served as a prison, reflecting the changing needs of the community. At the end of the 19th century, the busts of the founders of Sokol Miroslav Tyrš and Henry Fügner were placed on the side of the pillar in the shield side of the building, while the sculptures are no longer on the pillars.
After the loss of city status in the 1950s, the building was transferred to another office and served as an exhibition space, for various gatherings and meetings, as well as a local youth clubhouse. In 1992 the facade of the building was restored, which contributed to preserving its historical appearance. The total reconstruction carried out in 1999 ensured the maintenance of the technical condition of the monument. In 2022, the city of Trhová Kamenice was supported by the Ministry of Local Development subsidies of CZK 130,000 for the reconstruction of heating, which further contributed to maintaining the good condition of the building.
Architecturally, the former town hall is a rectangular ground-floor building with a saddle roof. The front facade has three axes and is supplemented by a prism tower with onion-shaped beating, spiking with lion and poppy. On the ground floor of the tower there is a semi-circular entrance to the building, which today serves as a restaurant. The side windows are located in segmented arched nuggets and on the side walls of the shield there are bust Tyrš and Fügner. The whole ground floor has flat ceilings, which is typical of such historical buildings.
Today the former radnice v Trhové Kamenici is not only a cultural heritage, but also a place where a visitor can look at part of the life of a small town. Its history and architecture attract people interested in the past and lovers of rural sites. For those who want to experience an authentic Czech atmosphere, visiting this place is a real disconnection from modern life.
The former radnice v Trhové Kamenici is not only an architectural value but also a testament to the history and culture of the region. It's a place that captures time changes and adaptation to new community needs. Visiting this monument is not only a way to the past, but also an opportunity to experience the unique cultural heritage of the Czech Republic.

Now pay attention to the architecture of the building. By adapting the baroque style with an added prism tower, which you are about to see, the town hall is the real jewel of the city.
