Nijmegen Town Hall, Renaissance town hall in Nijmegen, Netherlands.

The stone building features intricate wooden carvings at the entrance and an octagonal turret crowned with an onion-shaped dome at its summit.

Constructed in 1555 by connecting several 14th-century houses, the town hall underwent reconstruction after sustaining substantial fire damage during 1944.

The facade displays detailed sculptures between windows, including carvings of emperors and monarchs that represent the architectural preferences of the Renaissance period.

Located on Burchtstraat near Grote Markt square, the building maintains its function as an administrative center while welcoming visitors to explore its exterior.

Medieval crypts beneath the town hall contain a preserved torture chamber, offering insights into historical judicial practices of the Netherlands.
