Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox building
Helsinki City Hall (Шаблон:Lang-fi, Шаблон:Lang-sv) is a central administrative building of Helsinki, Finland. City Hall is located in the Kruununhaka district, overlooking Market Square,[1] at address Pohjoisesplanadi 11–13. City Hall is the seat of the City Council of Helsinki.
History
Completed in 1833, the building originally served as Hotel Seurahuone and was an important cultural facility hosting many premieres.[2] The hotel was designed by Carl Ludvig Engel who also designed the major buildings around the nearby Senate Square.[2] The city purchased the building in 1901 and, after the hotel moved out in 1913, renovated it as a city hall.[2]
Following an architectural competition the City Hall was radically remodeled by architect Aarno Ruusuvuori in 1965–70, replacing many of the old classical interiors and building modern glass-facaded insertions.
