The City Hall in Chorzów (then Huta Królewska) was built in the 1870s. As usual, German architects aimed at combining, in an impressive way, various historical styles, but predominantly neo-Baroque. In the inter-war years, the Poles rebuilt it in a modernist manner. Inside the building, the most interesting are the stained glass windows in the Secession Hall, depicting allegories of metallurgy, mining and trade. These are rare examples of Art Deco.
