The town hall

The council bought the building in 1840 for 3300 pounds. In 1736 there were 1736 inhabitants and the elected representatives decided to expand. The building work lasted 4 years and the town hall was made bigger with the addition of an extra floor. In 1867 all the work was finished and the town hall was complete. It was made up of a girls’ classroom and female teachers’ lodgings on the first floor, boys’ classroom, municipal offices and archives on the second floor and male teachers’ lodgings and two rooms for other employees on the third floor.
