V. Sebor designed this town hall building, formerly a 'municipal house', in the environment of the historical centre at the most prominent city square. The reinforced concrete structure is housing a simple triple-aisle layout. The lobby features a stylized modernist arcade which leads to a wide entrance hallway and a hall with a staircase. A conference hall with high French windows oriented toward the square was located on the upper floor of the administration building above the entrance area. The exterior facade of the town hall stems from a classical symmetrical composition.
