The Säynätsalo Town Hall is a multifunction building complex, consisting of two main buildings organised around a central courtyard: a U-shaped council chamber and town hall with administrative offices, and a community library with flats. The Town Hall was designed by Finnish architect Alvar Aalto for the municipality of Säynätsalo in Central Finland. Aalto received the commission after a design contest in 1949, and the building was completed in December 1951.
