cherpenzeel House (town hall)

Scherpenzeel House (Huis Scherpenzeel in Dutch; located at 3 Burgemeester Royaardslaan) began as a 14th century tower house. In the following centuries, it underwent several extensions. In the years 1857–1858, it got its present Neogothic form, designed by S.A. van Lunteren, who also designed the surrounding park. The building is was used as town hall [Stenvert, R. et al. (2000), "Monumenten in Nederland: Gelderland", p. 287–288. Zwolle: Waanders Uitgevers. ISBN 90-400-9406-3.] until 2003. Currently there is only the possibility of holding a marriage-ceremony.
