Veurne - Town Hall Stadhuis
|
|
The Stadhuis (town hall) in the northwest corner of the square built by Liéviun Lucas between 1596 and 1612 is, with its twin gabled facade and elegant loggia of bluish stone, an excellent example of the style of the Flemish Renaissance. Above the roof rises the narrow stepped tower erected in 1599. The rooms of the town hall have largely kept their form and furnishings of the 17th and 18th C.
The council chamber on the ground floor is particularly fine and impressive with its leather wall hangings from Mechelen as is the jury room with its linings of blue satin from Utrecht.
