History
editThe town hall was one of the few elements of the city's baroque-era architecture to be rebuilt following the Second World War. It is now surrounded largely by Soviet-era Stalinist designs and Khrushchyovka. A €7 million renovation project at the Narva Town Hall was completed in 2023. The building has returned to its original function as the seat of Narva's city government and also accommodates a tourist information centre and restaurant.[1][2]
