Old City Hall (The Hague)

Old City Hall of The Hague on the Groenmarkt, seen from the Nieuwstraat. It was built in 1564 replacing the count's castle. The tower in the background is possibly built on the remnants of the older castle called Hof van Brederode.

The Old City Hall in The Hague is a Renaissance-style building on the Groenmarkt near the Grote Kerk. It is the former seat of the city's government, and remains a place where residents hold civic wedding ceremonies, and where the royal family register their family births. Other families do this at the current city hall located in the large white building on the Kalvermarkt, near the public library.
