Gouda has one of the oldest Gothic town halls in the Netherlands.
It stands right in the middle of the lively centre of Gouda’s Market Place and it is world-famous.
The town fire of 1361 destroyed the predecessor of this town hall.
Requirement for the construction of a new town hall was: it had to be located in the middle of the market. That way it would be less prone to fire.
