The most important room in the historic Town Hall: The Spanish­Dutch Peace Treaty was ratified here, in what was then the Council Chamber, on 15 May 1648, and this marked the birth of The Netherlands as a country. A few months later, on October 24, the Peace of Westphalia was signed here and in Osnabrück, bringing the Thirty Years’ War to an end. The portraits of the sovereigns and of the most important emissaries are a reminder of this event of European significance. The Hall of Peace, preserved in its original state, can be viewed from Tues – Fri, 10 am – 5 pm, and on Sat, Sun and public holidays from 10 am – 4 pm (except when official events are taking place). www.muenster.de/stadt/tourismus/pdf/stadtfuehrer2012_gb...
