Donderstad Museum

The Donderstad Museum is the largest museum in Donderstad, located at West Gate 2 on the Donderstad Market Square. The museum showcases the local and regional history, from the town's foundation by the Venetians in 1360, to the Franco-Brunanter War and to today.

History of the building
A guild-hall was built around 1430 on the west side of the plaza and was used by tradesmen and craftsmen to sell their wares. In the early 18th century, the guild hall fell out of use and was briefly converted into a chapel before becoming the town's first bank in 1740. In 1965, the old Guild hall building was converted into a local history museum.
