The Jyväskylä City Hall was designed by Karl Viktor Reinius and completed in 1899. The first users of the City Hall included the magistrate, the town court, and the Bank of Finland. In the second floor, citizens could organize various performances and celebrations, and many associations also held their meetings in the City Hall. The building represents the Neo-Renaissance architectural style. Other works by Reinius include the Siikainen Church and the Turku Volunteer Fire Brigade House.
The Jyväskylä City Hall is one of the few buildings from the 19th century that have been preserved in the center of Jyväskylä. The building is part of the nationally significant built cultural environment of Jyväskylä’s Church Park and administrative center. The City Hall is located in the administrative block in the center of Jyväskylä, near the Church Park and the City Theatre.
After the 2013 renovation, the building has workspaces for 30 people and hosts meetings of the City Council, the City Board, and committees. The first floor houses the office of the Mayor, the meeting room of the City Board, and legal services. The second floor is dedicated to events and meetings, where the City Council holds its sessions. The building also includes offices for the staff of communications and international relations.
