Narva Town Hall (Estonian: Narva raekoda) is an historic municipal building in the city of Narva, Estonia. The building is located on Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats) next to the Narva College of the University of Tartu.

History

The town hall was one of the few elements of the city's baroque-era architecture to be rebuilt following the Second World War. It is now surrounded largely by Soviet-era Stalinist designs and Khrushchyovka.

Functions

On display inside is a model of the historic city. The building is not the location of meetings of the Narva municipality, which meets in a building on Peetri Square.
