Kanselarij, Gothic monument in Leeuwarden, Netherlands
The Kanselarij stands on Turfmarkt with its stepped gable facade adorned by nine statues representing divine providence and female personifications.
Built between 1566 and 1571, the structure initially served as the seat of the Hof van Friesland before becoming a hospital, barracks, and museum.
The building features four stone lions on its terrace, each representing different quarters of Friesland: Oostergo, Westergo, Zevenwouden, and the Frisian cities.
The facility operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 17:00, offering multiple rooms for events, including the Grote Zaal and Rembrandtzaal.
The original oak spiral staircase from 1571 contains lead bullets embedded in its steps, discovered during recent restoration work.
