About Alençon Town Hall
The Alençon Town Hall is a neoclassical building constructed between 1783-1797 by architect Jean Delarue on the former site of the Château des Ducs d'Alençon. Built entirely of cut stone, the elegant curved façade features pilasters, a pediment with balustrades, and a campanile housing three historic bells including a 15th-century tocsin bell. The building's refined Louis XVI style has drawn comparisons to the Petit Trianon at Versailles.

Construction of the Town Hall spanned the entire French Revolution. Work began in 1783 under King Louis XVI's reign, continued through the Revolutionary turmoil of 1789, and was completed in 1797 under the Directory government, making it a physical witness to one of history's most dramatic political transformations.
