Dudok had completed the sketch design for the town hall of the municipality of Velsen in 1949. As it was not yet decided which communities would be combined in this new administrative region- an important factor in deciding upon the size of the town hall- actual construcstion didn’t start until 1962. The building opened its doors in 1965.
