Deventer's town hall

Deventer's town hall is a beautiful piece of architecture. The current town hall consists of several buildings: the original town hall from 1693, the Landshuis (dating from 1632, but was only added to the town hall at the end of the twentieth century) and a more recently added modern part. The latter part opened in 2016 and was designed by the architects Willem Jan Neutelings and Michiel Riedijk. They chose to provide the exterior with enormous frames in which the fingerprints of 2,264 residents of Deventer are incorporated. Be sure to step into the courtyard to get a good idea of this special design.
