Leyden - Town Hall
|
|
Near the south end of Breestraat stands the Leyden Town Hall (Stadhuis), which has occupied this site since the Middle Ages. In 1597 the old Gothic gable was replaced by a Renaissance facade designed by Lieven de Key. In February 1929 the Town Hall was destroyed by fire, leaving only the facade still standing, though in a badly damaged condition. During the rebuilding the facade and the handsome flight of steps leading up to the entrance were restored.
