Huize Windekind, Historical residence in Scheveningen, The Hague, Netherlands
The red brick villa stretches across four levels on a slope at Westbroekpark's edge, featuring alternating closed and open facades along Nieuwe Parklaan.
Built in 1928 for police commissioner François van 't Sant, the villa became headquarters of the Sicherheitspolizei during German occupation in World War II.
The facade displays a large key symbol referencing Frederik van Eeden's literary work 'De kleine Johannes', while the name Windekind derives from an elven character.
The interior layout places the dining room on the ground floor, living spaces on the first floor, and sleeping quarters on the second level.
The basement of this villa holds dark memories as an interrogation site where numerous prisoners endured severe treatment by the German security forces.
