Astoria, Art Nouveau office building at Keizersgracht, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The six-story Astoria building features a copper-plated roof, decorative cast-iron fencing, and a mosaic depicting a guardian angel on its facade.

Built in 1905 as headquarters for the Eerste Hollandsche Levensverzekerings Bank insurance company, Astoria became a Rijksmonument national heritage site in 2001.

Architects H.H. Baanders and Gerrit van Arkel designed the building in the Dutch interpretation of Art Nouveau style, known as Nieuwe Kunst.

Located at the intersection of Keizersgracht and Leliegracht canals, the building stands near the Anne Frank House and contains multiple office spaces.

From 1989 to 2004, the building served as the international headquarters of Greenpeace before becoming a space for various companies.
