Townhall of Velsen

The Townhall of Velsen extends across three floors with steel frame construction and features a rectangular layout centered around an inner courtyard.

Construction of the building began in 1948 under architect Willem Marinus Dudok's supervision, with Princess Margriet attending the opening ceremony in 1965.

The council chamber, positioned above the square on golden pillars, represents the municipal government's authority through its elevated and visible location.

The building houses administrative services for Velsen residents, with a new wing added in 1993 that redirected public access through Dudokplein.

A tower reaching 50 meters in height stands along De Noostraat axis, while Macedonian marble decorates the square-facing facade of the structure.
