Most administrative functions have been transferred to an office inside the Delft railway station building.

A renowned building on the Markt next to the Nieuwe Kerk, and a Renaissance-style structure. It was originally created by Dutch architect Hendrick de Keyser, underwent significant changes over the years, and then was given a Renaissance appearance in 20th century. Several group portraits are displayed at the Town Hall, including portraits of the counts of Orange and Nassau from 1618. The structure with red shutters was built within 2 years from 1618 but the belfry is much older and is made of pricey Belgian limestone. It is an tourist attraction for historical lovers and children to learn about Dutch culture and history.

Het middeleeuwse stadhuis van Delft brandde in 1618 af . Behalve één toren , die in de middeleeuwen werd gebruikt als gevangenis : Het Steen . Na de brand liet het stadsbestuur een heel nieuw stadhuis bouwen , rondom de toren . Delft vroeg Hendrick De Keyser het nieuwe stadhuis te ontwerpen . De architect was toch in in de buurt , want hij maakte op dat moment het praalgraf in de Nieuwe Kerk voor Willem van Oranje ( hij was even daarvoor vermoord door Balthasar Gerards die dan weer in gevangenis Het Steen terechtkwam ). De Keyser werkte snel , het nieuwe stadhuis was twee jaar na de brand klaar . Hij ontwierp het stadhuis in de late renaissancestijl . Een symmetrisch gebouw met pilasters , een fronton boven de ingang en vele overvloedige decoraties . Het prachtige beeld van Vrouwe Justitia - dat herinnert aan de vroegere rechtbank - springt het meest in het oog . Zij is omringd door obelisken , siervazen en schelpmotieven. In de 19de- eeuw is het gebouw overigens -voor die tijd - gemoderniseerd; de kruisvensters met glas-in-lood en luiken werden vervangen . Later is het gebouw echter weer in zijn oude glorie hersteld. De beroemde kunstschilder Johannes Vermeer ging er in ondertrouw. Het stadhuis kan alleen bezocht worden op Open Monumentendag Delft. Het Steen is te bezichtigen durende de Nederlandse schoolvakanties

The City Hall in Delft, is aRenaissance style building on the Market across from the New Church ( Nieuwe Kerk ). One will find good number of resturants. Every Thursday, market runs from 9 am to 5 pm. We can find a wide range of stalls selling a variety of products, from fresh food, cheese, vegetables, household items and even clothing. Market is a single stop for a versatile shopping experience.

Boule d`Orange Each September right in front on Stadhuis (city hall) Petanque club Midi organizes a sporty petanque event. Tons of special sand are dumped on the market square to form the base of courts on which equipes from all around are competing for the grand prize. If you happen to camp out on City Camping the Delftse Hout around then, hop on a Mobike and enjoy watching the game!

The town hall of Delft, Stadhuis in Flemish, was built in 1629 by architect Hendrik de Keyser. The exterior of this renaissance building is ornate and fascinating, with remarkable stonework and windows with red shutters. I couldn't manage to get inside due to the fact that it was Sunday. I assume that Stadhuis is open during working hours, since it houses the offices of City council.

The downtown of delft is very picturesque. You will find many stores and cafes there. There are many streets behind the main square that offer even more great coffeeshops and restaurants. Recommend you check them out. We also encountered people selling the goods like a flea market that stretched quite far. It seemed like a popular destination on a sunny weekend day.
