Onafhankelijkheidsplein 3, Paramaribo, Neoclassical building on Independence Square in Paramaribo, Suriname.
The Ministry of Finance building features red brick construction, large white columns, and a central tower rising above the main entrance.
The structure, completed between 1836 and 1841 by architect Johan August Voigt, initially served as Paramaribo's town hall before becoming a government ministry.
The building stands as part of the Historic Inner City of Paramaribo, representing the fusion of Dutch colonial architecture with local construction methods.
Located at Onafhankelijkheidsplein 3, the building remains an active government facility with restricted public access during standard business hours.
The structure's tower was added to the original design at the specific request of a governor's wife, modifying the initial architectural plans.
