De Holland, Municipal monument in Dordrecht, Netherlands.
De Holland is a 1939 office building in Dordrecht designed by architect Sybold van Ravesteyn. The entrance is topped with a sculptural composition created by artist Willem van Kuilenburg, which defines the building's distinctive character.
This structure was built in 1939 as an office building for the insurance company Holland van 1859. It gained municipal monument status in 2007 to protect its architectural character.
The building now serves as a center for educational heritage, bringing together those interested in the history of schools and teaching methods. This transformation shows how historic structures can take on new cultural roles in their communities.
The building is centrally located in Dordrecht and easy to access on foot. Before visiting, check opening times and accessibility information, as these can vary seasonally.
The building was rescued from deterioration when the municipality purchased it to preserve its character. Extensive renovations by architectural firm Bierman Henket transformed it into a vibrant cultural center.
