The Late-Gothic town hall of Middelburg is one of the finest Gothic buildings in the Netherlands. Construction began in 1452 and was supervised by several generations of the Flemish family of architects Keldermans. Construction was completed in 1520, the town hall received a façade with gothic windows, red-white shutters, smaller turrets and twenty-five statues of Zeeland's counts and countesses. The statues were painted in bright colours. Especially in red and blue, the crowns being partially gilt. The building has one main tower.
The town hall's interiors burnt down entirely on May 17, 1940 during the bombardments in the Second World War. They were restored in the late 20th century.
