Town Hall of Gouda (Est. 1450, monument) - constructed in Gothic architecture, with a Renaissance entrance terrace at the front and a scaffold for sentencing prisoners at the back facing located at the centre of the town market square of Gouda.
Richly decorated with various statues, a puppet show with chimes and various other interesting elements. With shutters and coats of arms in symbolic white and red, the colors of the patron saint of Gouda John the Baptist. These colors are part of the city coat of arms. It's the former town hall and only the wedding room with historical tapestries is still being used.
