City Hall, Fribourg: View of central square including the St. George fountain

Date

Circa 1910

Creator

G. Massiot & cie
Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of Switzerland
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries

As Fribourg's territory expanded, the city's political influence grew, and by 1478 it was made a free imperial city. The town hall (from 1501), on the site of the Zähringen Fortress (destroyed 15th century), is Late Gothic in style. The ground-plan is trapezoidal, and it was originally a granary. Hans Felder completed it in 1522. It is located within Fribourg's Old City and today seats the Cantonal Parliament and Court.
