You can also enjoy the famous Gouds Plateel, the special earthenware made in Gouda. Take a break in the Museum Café.
Our City Hall
During a devastating fire in 1438 reduced Gouda almost entirely to ashes, the former Town Hall suffered heavy damage. The new town hall was built on the market square and is one of the oldest gothic town halls in the Netherlands. When the doors are open, you can visit the beautiful wedding hall, the mayor’s chamber and the council chamber. Don’t forget the carillon on the right side of the building.
