The Gothic town hall (1474-1477) of Veere, Netherlands
The Town Hall of Veere is a town hall on the Market Square in Veere in Zeeland. It is a late Gothic building with statues of the four gentlemen and three women of Veere decorating the facade. The 'De Vierschaar' is located on the ground floor, where the city council ruled until 1811. Today it is the antiquity room with among other items the silver cup of Maximilian of Burgundy. Henry IV van Borsele, Lord of Veere, commissioned the construction of the City Hall. The construction of the current town hall began in 1474 under the leadership of the Flemish architect Everaert Spoorwater. It was completed in 1477. The City Hall has had three restorations, in 1885, 1930-1935 and in 2013-14.
