De Holland, Municipal monument in Dordrecht, Netherlands.

The De Holland building features a sculptural group above its entrance created by artist Willem van Kuilenburg, enhancing the architectural design of Sybold van Ravesteyn.

Constructed in 1939 as an office building for the insurance company Holland van 1859, De Holland received municipal monument status in 2007 to protect its architectural elements.

The building now houses the National Education Museum following extensive renovations by architectural firm Bierman Henket, making it a center for educational heritage.

Located at coordinates 51.808611 latitude and 4.661111 longitude, De Holland stands as an accessible landmark in the central area of Dordrecht.

After serving multiple commercial tenants and falling into disrepair, the municipality purchased De Holland for 2.4 million euros in 2004 to preserve its historical character.
