It is recognised as a Rijksmonument in The Netherlands. Stadhuis was built between 1914 and 1920 with the foundation being laid in the company of Queen Wilhelmina. The mix of the greenery at the back and the grand architecture is a stunning mix, the interior also reminds me of the Houses of Parliament of London, with the huge grand halls fit for royalty. It does close at 5 pm, which I think is a little early, especially during the summer months. Early Birds will be pleased to know they open from 8:30 in the morning. 4* - A stunning grand building and a remarkable Town Hall for one of my favouite cities in Europe.

I was surprised how fast they actually spin. From far away they look so graceful, but up close, they are really moving! We were told that some of the families that ran these mills were pretty big, life must have been tough because there is very little room inside. Rooms are small to begin with, tiny beds, no bathroom or cooking area.
