City Hall, Weesp

City Hall in Weesp is a government building from 1776 featuring neoclassical design with a central council chamber and ceremonial rooms arranged across multiple floors. The structure now functions as Museum Weesp, offering exhibitions and hosting civil ceremonies within its historical spaces.

Architect Jacob Otten Husly designed this administrative center in 1776, serving as the main government seat until its integration into Amsterdam in 2022. This transition ended Weesp's independence as a municipality but gave the building a new purpose as a public institution.

The former council chamber now displays an extensive porcelain collection, showing how the building shifted from serving local government to hosting cultural activities for visitors.

The building is located at Nieuwstraat 41 in the town center and is open to visitors exploring the exhibitions. Plan time to walk through the various rooms and appreciate the historical interiors alongside the displayed collections.

Despite becoming a museum, the building still functions for weddings and civic ceremonies, creating a rare blend of visitor destination and active community space. This dual purpose makes it a living venue where history and present-day life meet.
