The Rathaus in Zürich, Switzerland is Zürich's Town Hall. The Rathaus was built from 1694-1698. It served as the seat of government and administration of the Republic of Zürich until 1798. The canton of Zürich owns it since 1803, and it houses both legislative chambers, the cantonal parliament as well as the City Parliament . It must be distinguished from the Stadthaus , which is the seat of the city's executive government, the City Council and its administration.
It is built on a fundament anchored in the river Limmat and faces the Limmatquai at a pedestrian bridge, or the Rathausbrücke. The 17th century building replaces an earlier Rathaus built in 1397, which in turn replaced a 13th-century court house .
