The late Gothic town hall was built between 1530-1534 to a design by Rombout II Keldermans. He was a master builder from Mechelen and a member of one of the most important master builder families from the Brabant Gothic period.

The town hall is an example of civil, late Gothic architecture in brick and sandstone. When the retreating German troops dynamited the St. Catherine's Tower on October 23, 1944, the town hall was also almost completely destroyed. After the war, this monument was rebuilt in detail.

In 1525, a meeting between Count Antoon de Lalaing and the residents of the Freedom of Hoogstraten decided to build a town hall. The count decided to finance the new town hall himself, as the city's citizens were already helping to bear the heavy burden of building a new choir.
