Town Hall (Lucerne)
The Lucerne Town Hall was built between 1602 and 1606 by Anton Isenmann in the Italian Renaissance style in the Swiss city of Lucerne .
The town hall is located at Kornmarkt 3 and borders the Rathausquai on the Reuss . It is under the KGS no. 3736 on the list of cultural assets of national importance in the canton of Lucerne .
The town hall was built by the architect Isenmann with helpers from Northern Italy . This collaboration could explain why the front of the building is reminiscent of a Milanese palazzo , but the shape of the roof is reminiscent of a Lucerne farmhouse . After about four years of construction, the first council meeting was held in the town hall on June 24, 1606. The Lucerne large and small councils met here until 1798 . Today the City Council holds its meetings here. Noteworthy are the portrait hall (where, among other things, civil weddings are held), the town hall tower with a red tower lantern and tower clock (it served as a watchtower and observation tower), the town hall stairs with the Italian-style "Leist" facing the Reuss, and the arcades and paved passageways.
The Kornschütte exhibition room is located in the town hall .
