This massive building of baroque inspiration is the work of architect Paul Adrien Gouny. His style reflects the prosperity of the city at the time of its industrial development, as evidenced by cornucopias flanking the clock. The arms of the town, surmounted by a crenellated tower, occupying the center of a pediment cut coils. Falling fruits adorn the capitals of the pilasters of the facade on which repeat the
armoiries2.
Ce bâtiment massif d'inspiration baroque est l'œuvre de l'architecte Paul-Adrien Gouny. Son style reflète la prospérité de la ville au moment de son développement industriel, comme en témoignent les cornes d'abondance encadrant l'horloge. Les armoiries de la ville, surmontées d'une tour crénelée, occupent le centre d'un fronton coupé à enroulements. Des chutes de fruits ornent les chapiteaux des pilastres de la façade, sur lesquels se répètent les armoiries2.WIKI
