4.5Town Hall (Stadhuis)(885 reviews) - Beautiful 16th-century Town Hall building at Grote Markt Wednesday: 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Government Buildings
The most impressive building at Grote Markt is Stadhuis (Town Hall), a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was designed by Flemish architect Cornelis Floris de Vriendt and constructed between 1561-65. It exudes a blend of Flemish and Italian Renaissance that delightfully adorns the square. The facade is worth viewing at daytime and then again in the evening while it is lit up with lights against dark skies. For those interested in visiting the inside, the ground floor is free to enter and visit from 9am to 6pm according to the Visit Antwerp website. This is also where you can read about and register for various tours that take in other parts of the Town Hall. Seems some tours depend on the time of year.See more..

We couldn't go inside and see the beauty. But I must say, the architecture work is really stunning outside. You cant keep an eye off from the Townhall if you are walking in front of this street. Really amazing.See more..
4.5Town Hall and Belfry(97 reviews) - Visiting the city of Oudenaarde. Government Buildings
In the city of Oudenaarde we also have visited “the Town Hall” who was built by architect Hendrik van Pede in between 1526–1537 this to replace the medieval “Aldermen's House” that occupied the same site. Another older structure, the 14th century Cloth Hall, was retained and now forms a sort of extension at the back of the Town Hall proper. In 1999, the town hall was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Belfries of Belgium and France site, because of its representation of the civic influence of the town and its architecture, and on the moment of our visit there was a fancy fair ongoing, nice to see..See more..
