The building of the town hall strongly resembles a Christian cathedral. It is built with such attention to detail that admiration will leave you completely lost access to vocabulary while you look at it..
The town hall building reminded me very much trip to Munich<.htmla>.

The height of the town hall is 65 meters. At its top there is an observation deck open for public use. Below you can see how luxurious conditions the administration of not the largest town in the Czech Republic works in..
You can visit the premises of the town hall yourself. There are premises for free visits, and there are premises for organized tourism. An indescribably beautiful architectural monument, in which not icons live, but people.
Historical reference
The second half of the 19th century presented city officials with a problem. The population of Liberec grew, and the old town hall could not accommodate the administrative staff necessary to service the city..
The building of the Liberec Town Hall was built from 1888 to 1893 under the direction of the Viennese architect Franz Neumann. In five years, a palace was erected to replace the outdated small town hall that had stood on Old Town Square since 1602.
Opposite the town hall there is a small memorial in the form of a tank caterpillar. It bears the names of those killed in the August 1968 invasion. Not the most pleasant pages of Czech history, and neither of our country. Echoes of which still prevent Russians from communicating with Czechs.
