View on the crow-stepped gable and ornate facade of the City Hall ( dating from 1588 ) in Oudewater, Utrecht, The Netherlands. In 1588 a beginning was made with the rebuilding of the City Hall, which had been partially destroyed by the Spaniards in 1575. It is typical of the Dutch Renaissance style. In the facade of the building the coat of arms of Delft and Alkmaar flank those of Oudewater itself. They were presented in 1588 as a sign of the alliance that existed between the three towns.
