Säynätsalo Town Hall

The Säynätsalo Town Hall (1949-52) is one of Alvar Aalto’s most admired works. The building has an internationally known status; as a monument belonging to the architectural history of our era. 

The Säynätsalo Town Hall has served several different functions. In the middle of the castle-like building is a raised courtyard, providing access to the administrative offices and the library. Nowadays, the main entrance remains in the corner of the inner courtyard, but entry to the library is from the ground floor. There are also two original guest rooms and apartments, some of which are available for visitors to reserve for overnight stays. 

The building is designed as an art of its own, which can be seen in even the smallest details, such as the ceiling structure of the council meeting hall, and the design of the furniture intended specifically for this building. The main material in both facades and public interiors is red brick.

The year-round opening hours and other information related to daily activities, prices, and schedules for guided public tours, as well as other daily operation details such as accommodation options, can be found on the service provider’s website: www.tavolobianco.com

There is also a Cafe on the premises.
