 Town hall by Mique
The town hall was constructed between 1618 and 1620 but made use of the remaining parts if the burned down older town hall. From that fire the current big tower called het Steen (13th century) and a few walls remained. Leave a Comment Address: Markt 87

 DELFT TOWN HALL by ATLC
Let's start at the town hall on Markt square.
It was built in 1620 by the famous Dutch architect Hendrik de Keyser, who also left his mark all over Amsterdam.
Unfortunately, the sun was shining right in my lense and there were stalls in front of it. So a proper picture could not be made. Leave a Comment Address: Markt, DelftDirections: Center of the city centerWebsite: www.delft.nl

 cityhall by dila
Of the original mediaeval building of the Stadhuis or Raadhuis, located on Markt square, which burnt down in 1618, only the squat central tower towards the back remains. The rest of the edifice was rebuilt around it in 1620 in a festive Northern Renaissance style by architect Hendrick de Keijzer (1565-1621). Leave a Comment Address: Markt 87

This is one of the most inescapable buildings in all of Delft and should not be missed. In the 13th century, when this place was the property of the Count of Holland, a central court stood here. In 1435 the whole area, including the market square, came into the hands of the city of Delft and a town hall was created within the existing complex. Due to constant expansion the town hall evolved around the old tower that used to be the prison.
During a destructive fire of 1536 the town hall burnt down. Though restored to some degree it was modernized and increased in size. Further construction in the 16th century led to the shape of the general shape of magnificent building that we see today. In 1618 the town hall again burnt to the ground, leaving only the central tower slightly damaged. Several architects made designs for a new town hall and eventually Hendrick de Keyser was choosen. His plans used the old tower again and surrounded it with the vast building that is beautifully decorated and has many windows. It was finished in 1620.
One thing you can clearly see, especially in pic 3, is where the town crier used to stand to deliver messages from the little balcony on the first floor. Leave a Comment Address: Markt
