The city hall of Leiden is a historical building, dating back to 15-hundreds. You'll see that the front is different than the rest of the building. In the years between 1600-1700, Leiden was doing really well. The rulers of Leiden wanted to show their wealth by decorating their city hall. They build a beautifulll front, in renaisance style. Unfortunatly they júst did the front, because of lazyness or lack of money, who knows. So the front was made of stone, whereas the rest was still wooden. That meant, that wenn the city hall caugt fire in 1929, in burnt down completely.. exept the front, because that was made of stone.
