Veere - Town Hall

The Town Hall (Stadhuis; 1470) is the finest Town Hall in Brabantine Late Gothic style after that of Middelburg. The fine statuettes of members of the Borssele family on the facade are reproductions (1934) of the originals by Michiel Ywijnszoon (16th C.), which are now in the Schotse Huizen. The belfry at the top of the tower is also 16th century. The interior decoration of the Town Hall dates mostly from 1699. There is a small museum in the Vierschaar (courtroom), the most notable exhibit in which is a silver-gilt goblet presented to the town in 1546 by Maximilian of Burgundy.
