Town Hall in Bielsko-Biała - a neo-Renaissance, historic town hall located at the Town Hall Square in Bielsko-Biała, in the Biała Krakowska district.
It was built in the years 1895–1897 according to the design of Emanuel Rost junior. Originally, it housed the city council of Biała, the Municipal Savings Bank and several other institutions in Biała, as well as the apartments of officials.
Since 1951, it has been the seat of the President of the City, the City Council and some departments of the City Hall in Bielsko-Biała.
In the 1890s, the Austro-Hungarian authorities of Biała decided that the town hall building built in 1827, situated at the market square (today the Polish Army Square), was insufficient for a dynamically developing city. It was decided to build a new building, finding a sponsor in the Komunalna Kasa Oszczędności - a local bank established in 1883.
In February 1894, the management of KKO announced an architectural competition for the design of the building, which was supposed to be two-functional - to house the bank and the town hall. The competition assumptions precisely defined the requirements that a modern building was to meet. Emphasis was placed on both functionality and grandeur of the town hall. It was supposed to be a municipal public building with a clock tower as its hallmark.
The Town Hall is one of the most magnificent public buildings in Bielsko-Biała.
It was built on the plan of an elongated rectangle. The symmetrical body is accentuated by the central break in the vestibule and the Council Room, topped with a separate, mansard roof and smaller corner breaks (the north-eastern breaks into a tower). On the west side, the building has two short wings, giving it a horseshoe shape. In the southern part there is a square well with a side staircase.
