Your next visit will be to The marketplace which is a central square in theOld Town and was created as the part of the first city expansion in the 14th century and first documented in 1392. Today it serves predominantly for representative and public purposes. It is dominated by the town hall and the Jan Wellem equestrian monument.

Statue
