Tips
The town hall was built between 1439 and 1468 by Sulpitius van Vorst and Matheus de Layens. It is considered one of the most beautiful late Gothic buildings in Europe and is one of the most famous town halls in the world. The town hall is located on the Grote Markt directly opposite the Sint Pieters Church. The original model was the Brussels town hall, as sources from the 15th century show. The statues placed in the existing niches in the 19th century were intended to surpass the original in terms of the number of figures (Wikipedia).
