Raadhuis Gennep, Town hall in Gennep, Netherlands

The town hall stands with its octagonal staircase tower and Neder-Rijnse renaissance architecture at the center of Markt square in Gennep.

Constructed between 1612 and 1620 under Willem van Bommel from Emmerik, the building replaced the previous structure destroyed in the city fire of 1597.

The building serves multiple functions beyond administration, hosting wedding ceremonies in its representation space and becoming central to carnival celebrations each year.

The first floor contains the council chamber for monthly meetings, while the ground floor houses tourist information services for visitors to Gennep.

Throughout its history, the building has served as a school, field hospital, temporary church, post office, prison, fire station, and cantonal court.
