Excerpt from Wikipedia

The Hôtel de Ville (French pronunciation: [otɛl də vil], City Hall) is a historic building in Arras, Pas-de-Calais, northern France. It was built in the 16th century, and completed in 1517. It was restored in the 19th century, and re-dedicated on 26 August 1867 by Emperor Napoleon III. It was then almost completely destroyed in World War I and rebuilt during the 1920s, using some modern materials where practicable. This can most obviously be seen inside the tower, where the main supporting structure is concrete. It has been listed as an official national monument since 1921. In 2005, the belfry was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France site because of its architecture and historical importance in maintaining municipal power in Europe.
