Dinghuis, Government building in Binnenstad, Maastricht, Netherlands
The Dinghuis features a late Gothic facade made of grey Namur stone, with windows decorated with coats of arms of Brabant, Liege, and Maastricht.
The structure served as Maastricht's high court from 1470 until 1664, after which it continued functioning as a prison with cells along Jodenstraat until 1825.
The building's entrance on the first floor, accessible by a double staircase, originally displayed two bronze lions that disappeared during the 1566 iconoclastic riots.
Currently operating as the Maastricht Visitor Center, the Dinghuis provides tourist information, local products, walking maps, and assistance to visitors exploring the city.
The clock mechanism on the facade connects through multiple floors via a chain system, marking time in this central location since the 15th century.
