A building of baroque style from the years 1723 - 1727 after a project of the Italian architect Giovanni Batista Alliprandi (1665 - 1720), who was permanently active in Bohemia from 1696. The project obviously developed around 1712, at the time, when Alliprandi managed and administered the works on the baroque fortification of Cheb. The new city hall was designed as a monumental two-storey building with a main expanse and two side wings with portals and towers and with a front facade arranged by a high pilaster range. From the original draft built the city until the year 1727 due to financial shortage only the south wing with the courtyard, which was structurally completed only with the conclusion of the tower in the year 1849. The inside of the building dominates the central solemn stairway, which connects both floors of the building. The stair course is bordered by the baluster stone railing, in the 2. floor with a sculpture of St. Joseph from the workshop of the sculptor Johann Karl Stilp from Cheb (1668 - 1735) and by the sculpture of Herkules, nicknamed also "Wild Man", likewise from the workshop of an artist from Cheb, the sculptor Peter Anton Felsner (active in the years 1710 - 1745), who is referred also to the second figure of the "Wild Man" in the lower fountain on the market place. The ceiling in the stairway is decorated with stucco work with coats of arms of the four mayors of Cheb, allegoristic statures of virtues and landmarks of Bohemia, Austria, Hungary and the coat of arms of the dynasty of Habsburgs.
In the building of the city hall palace, which ranks among the historical possession of the city Cheb, has its seat the gallery management, here is the constant exhibition of the Czech modern art and in the showrooms in the 2. floor and in the design and the cabinet of drawings and graphic art in the parterre regularly exhibitions are organized.
