The former town hall

The building of the former town hall replaced an earlier lower building with a torrent that was destroyed in a fire. It was a grammar school afterwards and now it is an elementary school. It is situated on the Large Square close to the town office. The academic painter Josef Bosáček decorated the forefront with colourful graffito in 1903 in accordance to thematic cards by Mikoláš Aleš. In the first floor there is an abundant ornamental decoration of tendrils, cillery and blooms laced together. Ornaments decorate the second floor too and there is an emblem of the town and the Czech Lion between the windows. There are figures of The Justice and The Autonomy on either side of the window in the arc fields. The last renovation of the sgraffiti, executed in 2016, is a work of the restorer Hynek Merta.
