Bolsward Town Hall

Stadhuis van Bolsward

An ornate Renaissance town hall completed in 1617, considered one of the most beautiful town halls in Friesland.

Bolsward is one of the Eleven Cities. Its town hall was built between 1614 and 1617. Its facade is richly decorated, with a tall clock tower and double staircases. It is a major example of Dutch Renaissance architecture. In summer you can enter to see the council chamber and a small local museum. The town also has the medieval Martini Church. It is about 30 km from Leeuwarden, and can be combined with Workum and Hindeloopen along the way.
