Stadhuis van Gouda

Dutch Flags on the Gouda Town Hall

Huge flags fly on the front of the Gouda stadhuis to provide color in addition to the red and white shutters. The red flag is for the Dutch Republic (1650-1815), the yellow for the County of Holland (1198 to the present) and the blue flag for the Kingdom of The Netherlands (1815 to present).
