A new building was built there. The central square building dates from the Middle Ages, but the distinctive façade of the building was designed by architect Lieven de Key and built from 1602-1604. The way it originally looked can be seen in a painting from 1460 by the Master of Bellaert. Originally the city hall was just the front of the building, and the rear cloister belonged to the Dominican brotherhood. After the Protestant Reformation this came into the possession of the city council : Haarlem, building, historia, history, kaupungintalo, kaupunki, kesäloma, rakennus, summer holiday, town, town hall City Hall Detail of the City Hall facade : Haarlem, building, historia, history, kaupungintalo, kaupunki, kesäloma, rakennus, summer holiday, town, town hall
City Hall The balcony designed by Salomon de Bray in 1630. : Haarlem, building, historia, history, kaupungintalo, kaupunki, kesäloma, rakennus, summer holiday, town, town hall Grote Kerk The Grote Kerk or St.-Bavokerk is a Protestant church and former Catholic cathedral located on the central market square. This church is an important landmark for the city of Haarlem and has dominated the city skyline for centuries. It is built in the Gothic style of architecture, and it became the main church of Haarlem after renovations in the 15th century made it significantly larger than the Janskerk (Haarlem). First mention of a church on this spot was made in 1307, but the wooden structure burned in the 14th century. The church was rebuilt and promoted to chapter church in 1479 and only became a cathedral in 1559. The main architects were Godevaert de Bosscher and Steven van Afflighem (schip), and Evert van Antwerpen (dwarspand). The term "Catholic" was never really associated with this church, since it was only consecrated as a cathedral in 1559, which was already in the middle of the period known as the Protestant Reformation. The church was confiscated only 19 years later during the Haarlemse noon in 1578, when it was converted to Protestantism. It was dedicated to Saint Bavo at some time before 1500, though there exists a curious painting in the collection of the Catholic Cathedral of St. Bavo illustrating the miracle of St. Bavo saving Haarlem from the Kennemers in a scene from the 13th century.
