Hôtel de Ville de Montdidier

Inaugurated in 1931, it is built upon a structure that goes 18 metres down. The belfry, which houses the bellstrikers, is 48 metres high. The decoration was carried out by the painter Maurice Pico. On the mortar of the walls and ceiling a tono on tone stylistic motif serves as a background for compositions which are based on the symbol of the town, the theme of water, the rural character of the region and an allegory of the family. The sculptures on the facades and the Marianne on the fireplace of the council chambers are by Raymond Couvègnes, Rome Grand Prix in 1932. Jean Duquesne, the wooden bellstriker carved in 1875, greets the visitors at the entrance to the council chambers.
