The neo-Gothic town hall of Sint-Niklaas was built in the period from 1876-1878 by the Ghent architect Pieter van Kerkhove. The left and right wing were added after WWII. the facade, the belfry tower and the entrance hall are made of white stone from Gobertange in Walloon Brabant. Two broad staircases have been built against the belfry tower. The balustrades end on a lofty pedestal with four sculpted, seated lions on top of which embrace the city coat of arms of Sint-Niklaas.

The town hall of Sint-Niklaas, one of the most imposing buildings on the Grote Markt, was built in 1876 and opened in 1878, after the previous one went up in flames. Against the belfry tower you can see the two majestic staircases that give access to the town hall. The four sculpted seated lions embrace the city's coat of arms.
