The Reims City Hall has served as the seat of municipal government since 1499 and features a square design with four wings surrounding a central courtyard. Originally built between 1627-1636 by city architect Jean Bonhomme, the building was completely destroyed by fire during World War I in 1917 and subsequently reconstructed, with President Gaston Doumergue inaugurating the rebuilt structure in 1928.
The south-facing facade is crowned by an octagonal bell tower and features an equestrian statue of Louis XIII trampling two prisoners.
