De Harmonie

De Harmonie is a building complex on Oude Kijk in 't Jatstraat containing a concert hall, billiard room, and educational spaces connected through multiple interconnected structures. The layout features a central area with elevators and several floors housing different functional spaces throughout.

Founded in 1840 as a Vereeniging of Sociëteit De Harmonie, it emerged from 19th-century community spirit. Major renovations in 1889 and restructuring in 1980 adapted the building to changing needs over time.

The complex has served as a gathering space where music lovers and students meet for concerts and social events that shape community life. Its name reflects the enduring connection to music and unity that remains visible in the activities happening here today.

The central area features elevators for easy navigation, and accessible toilets are located on multiple floors for all visitors. Parking spaces for people with disabilities are available to make access easier.

Artistic installations by Marte Röling and Wia van Dijk shape the interior and give the complex a creative dimension. Works like 'Non scholae, sed vitae discimus' and 'De twaalf gouden uilen van Pallas Athena' enhance the daily experience of visitors walking through.
