Architecture of Säynätsalo Town Hall

Säynätsalo Town Hall website

The invitational competition for Säynätsalo Town Hall was held in 1949. Aalto won the competition with an entry marked ‘Curia’, and was immediately commissioned to prepare working drawings. Completed in 1952, the building is one of Aalto’s most admired designs.

The red-brick Säynätsalo Town Hall has an atmosphere which has a warm, medieval feeling, but is nevertheless stripped-down modern at the same time.
