The Stadhuis of Delft, situated in the Markt square, showcases magnificent Dutch Renaissance architecture, crafted by Hendrick de Keyser. Originally constructed in 1200, it has been rebuilt several times, especially after the major fire of 1618. Tourists can delve into its rich historical background, featuring the old torture chamber and prison known as Het Steen. The town hall is also a wedding venue and holds the status of a Rijksmonument. Guided tours are offered during school holidays and on Open Monument Day. The building provides accessibility for all visitors, making it a key attraction for anyone interested in Dutch heritage.
