Daniël Stalpaert
Daniël Stalpaert, also known as Daniel Stalpert (1615-1676), was a Dutch architect who worked on the new town hall of Amsterdam, now the Royal Palace.
He was appointed city architect in 1648. It was part of his job to complete the Town Hall on the Dam Square in Amsterdam, which had been designed by Jacob van Campen. Stalpaert also played a major role in the 1663 urban expansion plan. He designed the city gates in an austere style. Other buildings for which Stalpaert was responsible are the building which currently houses the collection of the Dutch Maritime Museum (formerly 's Lands Zeemagazijn, 1656) and the Oosterkerk (1669-1671).
