's-Hertogenbosch - Town Hall Stadhuis

 
On the south side of the square stands the Town Hall (Stadhuis), originally Gothic but remodeled in Baroque style, with neo-classical features, in 1671. On the front gable is a handsome clock, incorporating mechanical figures representing a tournament between mounted knights which operate every half- hour. The tower (1650) has a carillon of 35 bells which rings every Wednesday between 10 and 11 am.
