Gemeenlandshuis in Delft, Late Gothic administrative palace in Oude Delft, Netherlands

The Gemeenlandshuis features a natural stone facade with decorative sculptures, cross windows, and an octagonal stair tower crowned by a bulbous spire.

Built in 1505 for bailiff Jan de Huyter, the building became the headquarters of the Delft Water Board in 1645, managing regional water systems.

The facade exhibits numerous carved coats of arms representing water board members, with heraldic symbols connected to the Burgundian royal house.

Located at Oude Delft 167, the building offers guided tours during Open Monumentendag, with the final daily tour starting at 4:30 PM.

The interior contains 18th-century painted wallpaper in the garden room and late Gothic key pieces decorated with jester bells.
