Old city hall of the Hague is a very beautiful old Renaissance building. It is not far from the Church. James, one of the oldest buildings in the city. Previously, it housed the municipality, now the city government is in a new building on Silvermark. The townspeople called it the snow-white building of the "ice Palace".

The old building still held the ceremony of marriage, and the royals are registering newborns. Other citizens have a birth certificate in the new building.

The town hall was built in 1565 on the site of the old castle of the counts. Perhaps one of the towers of the town hall has been preserved just from this castle. In 1882 the town hall was renovated and expanded several. The building is a historic art gallery. For its time the town hall looked very luxurious and impressive. In addition, the Hague was never a city in the medieval sense of the word and did not have the status of a city, because they had not been walled up, and for the village, even if it is very large, so the town hall and looked at all grandiose.

It is unknown what miracle has saved the town hall during the Protestant revolution, when religiously minded crowd was crushing everything in its path, and in the city hall survived the ancient stained glass and jewelry. The interior of the hall was changed several times, appeared new decor and restored the old one. Attention is drawn paintings and murals of the XVII century. Statues on the facade appeared in 1742. They symbolize Faith, Hope, Love, Strength and Justice.
