Fribourg/Freiburg. Town Hall

view map

An impressive presence to one side is the late-Gothic Hôtel de Ville (Town Hall), a highly photogenic building dating from 1501–22, whose double exterior staircase was added in 1663. St George spears the dragon on a fountain statue dating from 1525 in the square in front of the building. A regular Saturday morning market spills over into the streets around, one of which, Rue des Épouses (Street of Spouses), is spanned by a decorative old sign attesting to the fidelity of the couples who once lived there. The dourly impressive Grand’Rue heads off down the hill, a virtually intact example of a seventeenth-to-eighteenth century street, complete with Baroque, Regency, Rococo and Louis-XVI facades jostling for position all the way down.

La vue d'ensemble est excellente sur l'hôtel de ville et sa place.
C'est une superbe image.
