Town Hall of Sleen

The town hall of the former municipality of Sleen is a monumental building at Brink 1 in the town of Sleen in Drenthe.
In the thirties of the 20th century, the old town hall of Sleen had become too small to accommodate all municipal officials. At the same time, Sleen was also struggling with high unemployment among the population. With the help of a contribution from the government from the so-called "Werkfonds 1934", the plans for a new town hall could be realized. In the new building, the housing of the social affairs department with its own entrance was taken into account. The first two designs by the architect Andries Baart from Leeuwarden were rejected, partly because these plans were said to be too luxurious. The third plan was finally implemented. The new town hall was officially opened on 3 October 1938 by the then Queen's Commissioner of Drenthe, De Vos van Steenwijk.
