Spaans Gouvernement, Renaissance building near Vrijthof, Maastricht, Netherlands.
The Spaans Gouvernement features a marlstone facade with gothic windows and classical-style features including segmental pediments and Habsburg coat of arms.
Built in 1330, the structure served as a residence for Emperor Charles V during his visits to Maastricht in the 16th century.
The building now functions as the Fotomuseum aan het Vrijthof, displaying photography exhibitions in spaces adorned with 18th-century architectural elements.
Visitors can access the inner courtyard through a natural stone entrance gate from 1545, leading to exhibits spread across multiple floors.
