The Hague - Old Town Hall

(Local Name: Oude Stadhuis) Gravenstraat joins the Dagelijkse Groenmarkt, in which stands the Old Town Hall, one of the earliest Renaissance buildings of any size in the northern provinces, built in 1564 on the model of Antwerp Town Hall. The newer part, in Louis XIV style, was built in 1734. The building was further extended in 1883; but thereafter it was decided that a new Town Hall was needed.
