History
During Atzél Péter's mayoralty, the town council voted to take out a loan for the new theatre and town hall. The plans for the town hall were drawn up by Lechner Ödön, but after the theatre was opened on 21 September 1874 it became clear that most of the money borrowed (HUF 800,000) had already been used up by the construction of the theatre, so the plans for the town hall were modified by local architect Pekár Ferenc (originally designed as a two-storey building with a closed courtyard). Its style combines Flemish Renaissance and late medieval town halls. Its tower is 54 metres high and its clockwork was imported from Switzerland in 1878. The clock mechanism plays a patriotic song every full hour. A group of statues of Kossuth Lajos once stood in front of the Town Hall, but is no longer visible.
