The Dinghuis in Maastricht was built in the 70s of the 15th century. The architectural style was Gothic with a striking half-timbered facade. On the already high roof, a tower is additionally attached. He was used in former times, among other things as a lookout tower. The Dinghuis has housed various jurisdictions throughout history. Both local and regional from Liege and from the province. In the basement there was a larger number of cells for the placement of prisoners. The Dinghuis is centrally located in the city center of Maastricht.
The merchant house from the Middle Ages now houses the tourist information, it is about 100 meters next to the market square.

The Dinghuis, an old Gothic former courthouse. It was built around 1470 with a half-timbered facade and at the beginning of the 16th century with a facade of Namur stone and marlstone.
The Dinghuis had many functions. From the fourteenth century it was used as a viewpoint. After all, the building was tall and central. After the function of the court expired in 1664, it served as a prison until 1825.
The tourist information is housed in the building today.
