Janskerkhof 14, Utrecht, Monumental student society building in Utrecht, Netherlands.

The rectangular building features yellow brick construction with two parallel gable roofs, incorporating a square tower and decorative sections at both ends.

Architect August Zinsmeister designed this structure in 1899 following a competition that attracted 66 different architectural proposals for the new student society.

The building contains the Utrecht Corps Museum on its top floor since 1931, displaying collections that document student life throughout generations.

The structure includes multiple functional spaces with historical woodwork, a monumental staircase, and preserved 17th-century gateways on different floors.

During World War II, the building served as headquarters for the German 88th Army Corps after being requisitioned from the student society.
