Unlock history at the historic city hall

The national monumental showpiece of Venlo’s historic city center – that title is posthumously attributed to architect Willem van Bommel. Venlo's city hall was originally designed as a castle, and dates back to the early 14th century but was rebuilt at the end of the 16th century.
