A big smile for the Citizens' House and their fingerprints -
The cultural dimension of Deventer is illustrated by the new complex of the city hall ,in the old historic centre ...my first eye contact with the spectacular huge building was impressive .The new building breaks the historic surroundings ,it's like a modern contemporary window ,so close to the Grote Kerk ...old and new architecture are nicely combined ,the exterior facade looks like a piece of artwork ,depicting 2264 fingerprints of local citizens .The striking building is organized around two important squares.I entered inside just to take a nice photo,nobody asked me anything .The city hall has been awarded a special prize for its original architecture in 2017 ...

New City Hall
Fantastic city hall worth a visit. The old and new buildings have been combined. The new buildings are decorated with the fingerprints of a random selection of inhabitants. Go and see. It is free to enter.

One of the most beautiful buildings!
I visited the city hall for a registation when i exchanged to Deventer and Saxion. A warm and fast service! We were told that this building has over 300 fingerprints for the people of the city. Really beautiful, you have to go inside as well! Good atmosphere.
