Delft - Town Hall Stadhuis

 
On the west side of the Markt, standing alone, is the Delft Town Hall (Stadhuis), in Renaissance style (facade restored 1966), which contains a number of fine paintings of the 16th-18th centuries. The original Town Hall was built in the early 13th century; then in the 15th century a stone tower, known as Het Steen, was built on the brick substructure of the original tower.

Must-see attractions nearby:
In 1618 the Town Hall was destroyed by fire, leaving only the tower still standing, and was then rebuilt in its present form by Hendrick de Keyser. The facade is richly articulated by pilasters and sculpture. On the small gable is a figure of Justice. In the interior are a number of handsome rooms, including the Orange Gallery and the Council Chamber.
