former City Hall of Zierikzee, Zeeland, Netherlands - City and Town Halls on Waymarking.com

Halverwege de 16e eeuw, in de jaren 1550-1554, werd het te klein geworden raadhuis bijna volledig afgebroken om plaats te maken voor dit ruimere raadhuis. Dit nieuwe gebouw met toren werd in sobere renaissancestijl opgetrokken. Tevens werd toen de achthoekige toren voorzien van een bekroning, van waarop de zeegod Neptunus uitkijkt over de stad.
In 1661 werd de burgemeesterskamer toegevoegd.
Thans is het gebouw een stadhuismuseum dat de geschiedenis van Zierikzee verhaalt.
