    The town hall largely dates from 1596-1601 and was designed in Renaissance style by Willem van Bommel of Emmerich as a square building flanked at the front by two towers of unequal height. During a restoration between 1880 and 1887 two more towers were added, this time to the back of the building, rebuilt by P.J.H. Cuypers.

    The St Martinuskerk was built in the period 1410-1430 on the site of an older Romanesque cruciform church. The church has received many additions and renovations since, the last being in 1950 in order to repair serious war damage.

    The town hall largely dates from 1596-1601 and was designed in Renaissance style by Willem van Bommel as a square building flanked at the front by two towers of unequal height. During a restoration between 1880 and 1887 two more towers were added, this time to the back of the building, while the facade was rebuilt in neo-Renaissance style designed by P.J.H. Cuypers. Great architect, but no respect for the authenticity of old architecture. Today nobody seems to mind though. It's still a nice building after all.

    Venlo: Church of Our Lady
    by OlafS
    This was my major destination that day: the Onze Lieve Vrouwekerk ('church of Our Lady'), which dominates the southern part of Venlo since 1913. The tower was damaged in World War Two, and its upper part was rebuilt in a different form later. This was architect P.J.H. Cuypers' last church and it was still missing in my collection of pictures of his work.

    church
    by OlafS
    Venlo's major church is the St. Martinus, a three-aisled hall-church from the 15th century. In 1945 the tower was destroyed and after the war replaced by a new one, designed by architect Jules Kayser. I think it's a bit ugly but I don't know what exactly bothers me about it.

    Dutch Reformed Church. A late Gothic part of this church was already in existence at the end of the fifteenth century and was part of the former Gasthuiskapel. This church was given to the Protestants in 1632, the Catholics in 1637 and back to the Protestants in 1702.

    Right across the street from the central train station, there is the Limburgs Museum. With an innovative design by Jeanne Dekkers, the museum opened in 2000. It is an historical museum of the area with an extensive archeological collection.
