Discover the splendid interiors of this 18th-century neoclassical building, designed by a French architect serving the last king of France.
Straddling the Age of Enlightenment and the French Revolution, the Town Hall was built between 1784 and 1790 following the plans of Pierre-Adrien Pâris, an architect at the court of Louis XVI. The building’s imposing size, its proud neoclassical façade with colonnades, its grand ceremonial staircase and gilded decor — in short, its French-style splendour — made a strong impression not only on Neuchâtel’s 4,000 inhabitants of the time but also on the Bernese lords, who were said to have copied its plans.
