The Town hall of Lubin - built in 1768 in Baroque style, rebuilt in the 19th century. The building was destroyed in 1945 and then rebuilt in 1950. Currently the town hall is a seat of the Historical Museum in Lubin and the Mayor as well as the City Council.
History[edit]
The first Renaissance town hall in Lubin was built in 1515, during a major expansion of the town.[1] It was destroyed in a fire in 1757[2] and then demolished. The current building was erected in 1768.[1] The building was significantly reconstructed in the 19th and 20th centuries.[1] The town hall was severely damaged in 1945 during the war and was rebuilt in 1950, losing much of its original character.[2] In 2010, the building was restored and its tower was covered with copper sheet.[3]
By the decision of the provincial conservator dated 14 April 1981, the town hall was entered into the register of monuments.[4]
Architecture[edit]
The town hall is a late Baroque building built on a rectangular plan, with two storeys and a mansard hipped roof with dormers.[1] The ridge is topped with a copper sheet metal turret with clocks and a Baroque helmet with a spire.[1] The elevations are enriched with shallow risalits topped with triangular pediments.[1] The risalit on the western façade has a tympanum with the town's coat of arms depicted among floral ornaments.[1]
