Kortrijk City Hall, Medieval town hall at Grote Markt, Belgium

The city hall exhibits Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements with a facade featuring statues representing Counts of Flanders and nine ornate dormers.

The original building from 1420 was destroyed by French forces, leading to the construction of the current structure around 1520 with significant expansions in 1616.

The Aldermen's Hall contains a Gothic mantelpiece from 1527 depicting biblical scenes that reflect justice themes through detailed stone carvings and illustrations.

The administrative building provides municipal services through its service counter, while the historical section remains open for guided tours and official ceremonies.

Six connected cellars beneath the building served as a tavern named De Raadskelder until 2006, with the largest measuring 21 by 10 meters.
