La première pierre de l'Hôtel de ville est posée le 05 août 1852 par le maire et est bénit par le curé. Elle porte comme inscription : «Cet Hôtel de ville a été construit sous le gouvernement du prince Louis Napoléon Bonaparte» et une pièce de 5 francs y est scellée.
La construction dure 4 ans.
C'est sur la place un peu exiguë de l'Hôtel de ville que se tenait le marché.
En 1911 la statue d'Eugène Guillaume, sculpteur montbardois, est installée devant la mairie. Mais elle est confisquée puis fondue par les Allemands pendant la guerre 1939-1945.
La salle de mariage de l'Hôtel de ville est mise en valeur par les portraits de Buffon, Daubenton et Junot peint par Raverat artiste Dijonnais.
The decision center of the city has often moved. From 1231 onwards, the City was granted its Charter, the mayor and his aldermen used to meet in St. Thomas Church in the Grand Faubourg. The first city hall was built on the bridge of the Brenne river. It burnt in 1548. A house was bought in the ‘Grenier à sel’ street in 1676 and it was only in 1741 that it settled in the current location. In 1850, the city council decided to raze this building and construct a new one large enough to accommodate both the city hall and a new school.
The first stone of the town hall was laid on 5th August 1852 by the mayor and was blessed by the priest. With the following inscription: "This town hall was built under the government of Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte'' and a 5-francs coin is sealed there.
The construction lasted 4 years.
The market used to stand place on this rather small square of the City Hall.
In 1911 the statue of Eugène Guillaume, a sculptor from Montbard, was erected in front of the town hall. But it was confiscated and melted down by the German soldiers during the 1939-1945 war.
The wedding hall of the City Hall is enhanced by the portraits of Buffon, Daubenton and Junot painted by Raverat, an artist from Dijon.
