Gold Office

The Renaissance Goudkantoor (Gold Office; 1635) was originally the provincial tax office and later the gold assay office. Its magnificent facade is unfortunately concealed by the extension to the Town Hall.

Town Hall

On the west side of the Grote Markt stands the neo-classical Town Hall (Stadhuis 1777-1810). Behind it is a modern extension (1962) which fits in well with the older building.
