Sights in Stříbro in English language for tourists.

Town hall

The original building of the town hall was replaced by the present Renaissance building in 1543. A fire damaged the town hall building in 1588.

The cupola was built in baroque style. The reconstrucion of the facade and grafitti were projected by professor V. Schwerdtwer and they were both realized at the same time.

The grafitti represent:
  • the foundation of the town by Soběslav I. in 1131
  • the defense against the crusaders in 1427
  • the godess of justice

The back wing of the town hall was built between 1883 and 1888.
