City hall of Sint-Niklaas, Gothic Revival town hall on Grote Markt, Sint-Niklaas, Belgium.

The city hall features a 40-meter tower with 49 clocks and stands as the central structure in Belgium's largest market square.

Following a devastating fire in 1874, architect Pieter Van Kerckhove designed this neo-Gothic building, which was inaugurated by King Leopold II in 1878.

The building contains numerous polychrome murals, sculptures, paintings, and engravings that represent the urban heritage of Sint-Niklaas through different periods.

The municipal administration offices remain active in the building, providing essential services to residents from Monday through Friday during regular business hours.

The structure's location represents a notable violation of historical building regulations, as the market square was designated to remain free of construction.
