Town hall of Medemblik

The town hall of Medemblik stands on Dam street with a stone facade featuring architectural elements representative of 1940s Dutch municipal construction. The structure houses administrative offices and meeting spaces that serve local government functions.

Architect Alexander Kropholler designed this administrative building in 1941 during a period of architectural modernization in Dutch municipalities. The construction reflects the urban planning ideals of that era.

The building holds the status of Rijksmonument, marking its recognition within the Dutch national heritage preservation system.

The building is accessible during regular office hours for administrative services and features clear signage for visitors. Its central location on Dam street makes it easy to find.

In 2023, six valuable paintings were stolen from the town hall but were later returned through the intervention of art detective Arthur Brand. The artworks, which had long been part of the interior, thus drew unusual international attention to the building.
