City Hall, Weesp, Government building from 1776 in Weesp, Netherlands.
Description
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.
History
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.
