Kruithuis, 's-Hertogenbosch, Gunpowder magazine and art center in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands
The hexagonal building features one-meter-thick exterior walls constructed of brick and natural stone, with a central courtyard and entrance gate facing city walls.
Built between 1618 and 1620 under engineer Jan van der Weeghen, the structure became a weapons factory after the 1629 Siege of 's-Hertogenbosch.
From 1972 to 1994, the building housed the Municipal Museum of 's-Hertogenbosch, displaying regional art collections and historical artifacts.
The museum presents exhibitions about the Eighty Years' War through light, sound, and diary fragments, with Grand Café 1629 offering refreshments.
This structure stands as the final remaining gunpowder magazine from the Eighty Years' War period in the Netherlands.
