The town hall was built between 1406 and 1416 in late Gothic style. After a number of renovations in different styles, it got its current appearance during the renovation between 1940 and 1942. The meetings of the canton and the city of Bern are held in the town hall. The town hall with the stately staircase is located a bit off the tourist route (Kramgasse) but is worth taking a side street.

The palace was built in 1415 in late Gothic style. The city government and the cantonal parliament meet here. When the flag is displayed on the roof it means that the parliamentarians are in a meeting. It was also designed in connection with the nearby church of San Pietro e Paolo.

Town Hall Bern is situated in the capital's old town. It's a nice 15 c Gothic edifice under UNSECO like the entire city as well.
Next door is St. Peter and Paul's Church.

Rathaus Bern , The town hall of Bern is the building in Bern, Switzerland that houses the Grand Council of Bern , the Executive Council of Bern and the Grand Council of the City of Bern. The building is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site,where Bern’s political decisions are made: the parliaments of the city and the canton hold their meetings at Town Hall. Be it in sessions, meetings or conferences – democracy is practiced in this historical building.

The building is very old and is included in the UNESCO list. I think it was completely renovated in the middle of the 20th century, but it looks remarkable anyway.

Spectacular 15th century Gothic town hall: when the coat of arms of Bern are flying, then the politicians are in session.

While strolling across the city, went outside this building to get a random click. The architecture was quite good, can't say about its interiors.

We weren't able to tour the interior of the Rathaus, but we did walk around this imposing building and enjoyed the fountains and parks all around their government building complex.

Visited with my wife and a Swiss friend. An interesting experience, comparing it in the back of our minds with our own Houses of Parliament.
