Town Hall: by order of 22 January 1910
Origin and history
The Town Hall of Hondschoote is a historic monument located in the municipality of the same name, in the department of Nord (59), in the Hauts-de-France region. Built in the 16th century, it embodies the civil architecture of this period and bears witness to the administrative importance of the city at that time. Its classification as Historic Monument by decree of 22 January 1910 underlines its exceptional heritage value.
The building, owned by the commune, is located at 1bis Place du Général de Gaulle, according to the data of the Mérimée database. Although the available sources do not specify its current use (visits, room rentals, etc.), its protected status guarantees its preservation. GPS location and administrative information, such as Insee code 59309, confirm its anchoring in the territory of Nord-Pas-de-Calais.
The protected elements are limited to the city hall itself, without mention of extensions or annexes. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), indicating reliable geographical identification. Sources, including Monumentum, provide technical and legal data, but little detail on its social history or subsequent architectural transformations.
