The town hall of Gouda is located on the Markt. The fifteenth-century town hall is one of the oldest Gothic town halls in the Netherlands. In the summer of 1438, a major city fire caused serious damage to the city hall. The city council decided that the new city hall should stand free and chose the Marktveld as the new location, then a swampy peat area. nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadhuis_van_Gouda

A very nice town hall standing in the middle of the market square. Great photo opportunity. All around are various restaurants, shops and cafes where you can sit and shop very nicely. The center is not big and you can walk to everything.

It was built in 1448 from natural stone, a rarity at the time. A beautiful Renaissance staircase was added in 1603. The balcony on the north side was once used as a scaffold. The wedding hall with its wall paneling and the old wooden ceiling in the former council chamber are particularly worth seeing.

Gouda's town hall, built between 1448 and 1459, is one of the oldest Gothic town halls in the Netherlands. It stands in the center of the Markt square and formerly served as the town hall, courthouse, and market hall. Today, it primarily serves as a wedding and events venue. Currently undergoing renovations, it will have a new, broader public function starting in 2027.

In the summer of 1438, a major fire reduced almost the entire city of Gouda to rubble and ashes.
The town hall was severely damaged. The city council subsequently decided to build the new town hall as a freestanding structure and chose the Marktfeld (market square), then still a wet, marshy area, as its new location. The carillon can be seen on the right side of the building.

The Stadhuis is the former town hall of Gouda in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is centrally located in the middle of the market square and is classified as a national monument.

Perhaps, so typically Holland, a little too colourful. But definitely worth a visit.

The town hall of Gouda is a beautiful building during the day, but it is definitely worth walking around it in the evening.

In the summer of 1438, a major fire caused severe damage to the town hall. The city council decided that the new town hall should be free and chose the Marktfeld, then still a marshy fen, as its new location. On the right side facade, you can see the carillon with its mechanical puppets, installed in 1961. The protagonist of the puppet show is Floris V, who granted Gouda city rights in 1272. Every two minutes, on the half hour and on the hour, you will be treated to a beautiful spectacle.
