Summary[edit]

Description

9399 P.Z. Delft. Stadhuis. Photochrom print by Photoglob Zürich, between 1890 and 1900.

In 1618 the town hall burned down - only the tower, Het Nieuwe Steen, and some bits of wall remained standing. Architect Hendrick de Keyser was commissioned to rebuild the town hall. By using the old tower and the wall remnants he managed to design a new town hall with a symmetrical design. In 1620, the reconstruction of the town hall was completed. In the 19th century the town hall was drastically reorganised - it housed the councillors, a town council and a district court. During that reorganisation the interior and exterior of the town hall were also modernised.
