About the artwork

The Town Hall of Gouda is located at the Market. The fifteenth-century town hall is one of the oldest gothic town halls in the Netherlands.

In 1395, the Gouda city council bought the market field from the lords Van der Goude to build a town hall there. Yet it would take until 1448 before construction began.

In 1497, the Town Hall was refurbished on the occasion of the visit of Philip the Handsome to the city. In 1517/1518 the building was rebuilt. According to the historian Walvis, the Town Hall was surrounded by water until 1603 and could be reached by a drawbridge. In that year, the current platform in Renaissance style was made by the city sculptor Gregorius Cool.

In the period 1692-1697 another major rebuilding took place. The current scaffold at the rear of the Town Hall was also built in this period. Before that time, there had already been a scaffold at the Town Hall, which was first mentioned in 1525. In the period (1946-1952), the building was again drastically renovated. The old, wood
