Gorgeously decorated, the former city hall is a mixture of architectural styles. The 14th-century facade on the market square is the most well-known part, and mostly Late-Gothic in design. The later, 17th-century parts facing the Lange Noordstraat have a rather classical style. Considered to be one of the most beautiful single buildings in the Netherlands, the Town Hall is an important sight in the city. Locals call its tower "Malle Betje" (Crazy Beth) as its clock is always a bit behind the one on Lange Jan. In summer, 2 daily (except Friday) guided tours allow for an inside view. Tickets can be bought at the Tourist Office and tours start at 11:15 and 15:15.
