Old Guild Hall, Grade II* listed building in Cathedral Square, Peterborough, England.

The Old Guild Hall features open round-headed arches on the ground floor and four-light mullion windows with leaded lights on the upper level.

Built in 1671 by architect John Lovin, this structure replaced a medieval guildhall to commemorate the restoration of the monarchy in 1660.

The building displays the Royal Arms of King Charles II along with shields representing Bishop Henshaw, Dean Duport, and prominent local families.

The ground floor remains open to the public, while the upper levels contain preserved assembly rooms from the 17th century construction period.

The architectural design bears a notable resemblance to the former Old Town Hall in Amsterdam, as depicted in historical paintings by Pieter Jansz.
