Guild Hall

A Guild Hall is a historic building traditionally used by a guild, which is an association of craftsmen or merchants in a particular trade. These halls served as meeting places for members, where they would discuss business, set regulations, and host social events. Many guild halls also had a public function, serving as venues for ceremonies and community gatherings. Architecturally, they often feature distinctive styles that reflect the local culture and history. Today, many guild halls are preserved as historical sites or repurposed for modern uses, showcasing the heritage of trade and craftsmanship in a community.
