Located behind the York's Mansion House, the York Guildhall was once a meeting place for the guilds of York.
Built in the 15th century, the Guildhall served as a meeting place for the guilds of York. It is built on the site of a former Commonhall and the present one is a replica of the original building which was destroyed by fire in 1942. The glass windows with stains depict the history of York. The ancient stone walls of the buildings were not destroyed and now form the frame of the reconstructed Guildhall. It stands just by the River Ouse and is a marvel of architecture.
