Maarten Maartenshuis, Neo-Renaissance country house in Doorn, Netherlands

The Maarten Maartenshuis stands as a two-story brick structure with a basement, Dutch-tiled gable roof, and windows adorned with traditional shutters.

Built in 1902 by writer J.M.W. van der Poorten Schwartz, known as Maarten Maartens, the house opened in 1903 as part of the larger Zonheuvel estate.

The estate included an open-air theater from 1939 to 1960, hosting performances of plays written by notable Dutch literary figures like Henriette Roland Holst.

The building now functions as a conference center within the De Zonheuvel complex, offering meeting spaces and educational facilities for various groups.

The main entrance features a neobaroque stone frame with twisted pilasters and an arched pediment displaying a relief of a sun above a hill.
