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.

Norwich claims to be one of the most intact medieval cities in all of Europe. I can believe it.
Not sure what building this is, exactly, but I love it.
The "Nieuwe Kerk" - a church in the city of Delft in the Netherlands. The building is located on Delft Market Square (Markt), opposite to the City Hall (Stadhuis).

Nieuwe Kerk - in 1584, William the Silent was entombed here in a mausoleum. Since then members of the House of Orange-Nassau have been entombed in the royal crypt. The private royal family crypt is not open to the public. The church tower, designed by Pierre Cuypers and completed in 1872, is the second highest in the Netherlands, after the Domtoren in Utrecht.
