Veere Town Hall is a town hall on the Markt in Veere in Zeeland. It is a late Gothic building with statues of the four lords and three women of Veere in the facade. The 'De Vierschaar' is located on the ground floor, where justice was ruled by the city council until 1811. Today it is the antiquity room with, among other things, the silver cup of Maximilian of Burgundy. The town hall is in the Top 100 of the National Agency for the Preservation of Monuments.
History
Hendrik IV van Borsele, Lord of Veere, commissioned the construction of the Town Hall. Construction of the current town hall began in 1474 under the direction of the Flemish Everaert Spoorwater. It was completed in 1477. The Town Hall has had two restorations, in 1885 and in 1930-1935. The building was thoroughly restored again in 2013-14.

HFF........ well, they have finished construction of our new town hall (on the left) and moved everything over. now the construction fence is around the old town hall while they prepare it for demolition and removal. it's been quite a project to watch from demo of the old police&fire station, to construction, and now to demo again.
Darwen became a municipal borough in March 1878 and civic leaders decided it was necessary to procure a town hall and a market hall: the original concept was to have two separate structures but after some debate it wasdecided to have a combined facility. The scheme was subject to a design competition which was supervised by Alfred Waterhouse and won by Charles Bell. The finance for the scheme was authorised under the Over Darwen Improvement Act 1879 and, after the River Darwen had been diverted into an underground culvert, the foundation stone for the new building was laid by the mayor, Alderman William Snape on 2 October 1880. The structure was built by a local contractor, J. Orrel & Sons, and the building was officially opened by the local member of parliament, Frederick Grafton on 21 June 1882.
The building served as the headquarters of Darwen Borough Council for much of the 20th century but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council was formed in 1974. The council chamber became the home of Darwen Town Council when it was formed in 2009.
I awoke very early this morning and thought I might get a nice sunrise because there was a nice sunset last night -- which I missed. Alas, there was no sunrise, and it was cold. To come home with something, I did take this different view of townhall.
Every winter there is a ice rink in front of the townhall in Vienna.
It was hard to get it sharp properly in post-processing, as I have taken this shot free-hand with 1/3s. I also have defished it, as it was taken with the Walimex 7.5mm Fish-Eye lense.
Here's a shot of the Town Hall in downtown Gordonsville, Virginia. I don't know how old the structure is, but the building and its grounds are quite attractive.
