Hôtel de ville de Roye

The town hall built in the 18th century was blown up by retreating German troops in March 1917. The Roye architect Arthur Régnier built the new building from 1930 to 1932, in a style blending Art Deco and neo-regionalism inspired by the Flemish Renaissance. It stands inside the place d'Armes, now place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, and recalls in its general appearance the 18th-century communal house. Its architect received the medal of the Concours d'architecture régionale et municipale in 1936, and the stained-glass windows, damaged during the Second World War, were restored in 1952.
