Obrzycko Town Hall

The Obrzycko Town Hall is a historic Baroque building constructed in the mid-17th century, located in the central part of the market square. Its existence was recorded in the town’s 1757 inventory, where it was described as a building roofed with wood shingles. In the 19th century, the town hall was rebuilt and converted into a granary, but by 1962 its original appearance had been restored. Architecturally, the town hall features a brick structure with decorative corner rustication and a gable roof. On the western side, there is a risalit with a turret displaying the Nałęcz-Raczyński coat of arms and the motto *Vitam impendere vero*. The turret is crowned with a hipped roof and a spire. The interior of the town hall retains some of its original decor, including groin vaults. A string course separates the floors on the façade, and the southern window is particularly noteworthy—it features a Renaissance frame from 1527, brought in 1843 from the Monastery of Batalha in Portugal by Count Atanazy Raczyński, a renowned art connoisseur. Today, the town hall serves administrative functions as the seat of local authorities, making it not only an important historical landmark but also an active center of social life in Obrzycko.
