      The Balk Town Hall is the former town hall of the municipality of Gaasterland. The new town hall of the new municipality of Gaasterland-Sloten is located on the other side of the Dubbelstraat.

      The old town hall (courthouse) was built in 1615. The anchors on the front of the building refer to the year of construction. In 1836 the building received a new facade. The entrance is on the northeast side and can be reached via a high staircase with a platform. On the landing there are shield-bearing lions at the two apexes. On the roof there is a roof turret from 1793 with a clock that was cast in 1615 by the bell founder Gerard Koster. The old town hall is recognized as a national monument. The building was restored in 1912.
