Paleis-Raadhuis, Palace and city hall in Tilburg, Netherlands.

The Paleis-Raadhuis features four round towers at each corner, containing independent stairwells within its neo-Gothic architectural structure.

King Willem II initiated construction in 1847, laying the cornerstone for what was intended to be his southern residence, but died before completion in 1849.

The building served as the Royal Secondary School from 1866 to 1934, where painter Vincent van Gogh studied between 1866 and 1868.

The palace connects to the modern city hall through a sky bridge, providing administrative services and hosting municipal ceremonies.

Stained glass windows by artist Joep Nicolas depict scenes of governance virtues and classical antiquity throughout the building.
