Location: Marktplein 7

The current Town Hall on the Marktplein was built in 1922. The very first Town Hall of Nieuwpoort was originally located in the Langestraat and was destroyed during the First World War. When the city was rebuilt, the aim was to concentrate all important public buildings on and around the Marktplein. Four merchant families therefore had to leave their homes on the Marktplein to make way for the new Town Hall.

Architecturally, the Town Hall belongs to the neo-Flemish Renaissance style, of which the stepped gables and basket-handle arches are a characteristic. The coat of arms of Nieuwpoort is placed above the front door. The shield is flanked by images of a ploughing farmer and a fisherman with an anchor. At the top are the words ‘Novus Portus’, the Latin name of the city.

The building houses a rich collection of works of art, including etchings, drawings, watercolours, paintings and sculptures.
