Bock House, the Old Town Hall is located in the Senate Square side of the "Lion Block" in the Empire-style city centre. It is the oldest of the merchant houses and dates to 1763. As Helsinki's new centre was under construction, the Bock House was expanded and raised into a three-storey building in 1816-1819, according to C. L. Engel's design. The turquoise coloured Empire Room is Helsinki's most beautiful reception space.
