The Renaissance-style building of Zurich Town Hall looks solid enough to withstand the fate of its earlier incarnations. The structure has been standing quite securely since its incarnation in the late 17th century. The earlier two buildings, one a courthouse from the 13th century, were made of wood, which probably explains their demise. Before visiting the Zurich Town Hall up close, view the building from the opposite shore or by boat. You’ll see that it rises from the Limmat River on piles sunk into the riverbed with arches over the water as part of its foundation. All three buildings were built in the same location that, at the time, was a medieval village known as Rathaus. The name is now attributed to this sector of the city. The building itself has also taken the name. Locate Zurich Town Hall on the right bank next to the pedestrian Rathausbrücke bridge. Walk through the building to learn about Zurich’s interesting history through artwork and artifacts. Visit for free and discover an interior that’s fascinating with its ornate stucco ceilings and window frames. This had been the Republic of Zurich’s government building since 1789\. Since then the city’s municipal government and the cantonal government have also made it their legislative building. The current building for the city council and administration, Stadthaus, is located farther along the riverbank. The area in front of the building is where special events often take place, such as concerts and a Christmas market. Find Zurich Town Hall along Old Town’s right bank on Limmatquai. Although regular tours are not available, the site is included in Zurich’s self-guided walking tour app and part of most walking tours of Old Town. Stop at one of the numerous cafés, restaurants, bars and chocolate shops near this setting. Take pictures at night of the illuminated building’s reflection in the river. When the water is calm, the site takes on a magical feel, with the arches at the base of the structure appearing to be full circles over another inverted and illuminated building. ## Plan a trip to see Zurich Town Hall Price found within the past 48 hours.
