Het Nutshuis, Bank building at Riviervismarkt, The Hague, Netherlands.
Het Nutshuis is a bank building at Riviervismarkt with two stories, an attic level, and a high gabled roof covered in traditional Dutch tiles. Its rectangular form features decorative elements such as triangular pediments and ornamental stonework that reflect Dutch Renaissance influences.
The structure was built between 1919 and 1921 as the headquarters of Nutsspaarbank, a significant local financial institution. Its architecture reflects the economic development of The Hague during the interwar period.
The building now houses multiple social organizations focused on human rights and international issues. This transformation shows how a former banking institution has become a space for civic engagement and public dialogue.
The venue can host events with up to 175 people across eleven meeting rooms, and features a garden and café on-site. Access may vary depending on ongoing activities or private functions taking place.
The interior preserves original banking elements such as vault doors in the basement and terra-cotta bricks on the ground floor bearing the date 1818 and founder initials. These details reveal layers of the building's past use and architectural history.
