De Utrecht, Leeuwarden, Art Nouveau commercial building at Tweebaksmarkt, Leeuwarden, Netherlands.

De Utrecht features yellow brick walls with granite beams, a tower with a pointed roof, and decorative ceramic elements throughout its facade.

Architects Alexander Kropholler and Jan Frederik Staal designed this insurance company office in 1904, which later received Rijksmonument status in 1979.

The building displays sculptures by J. Mendes da Costa, including four pelicans on the tower and coats of arms of Utrecht and Leeuwarden cities.

De Utrecht opens its doors to visitors on Fridays and Saturdays between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM, with advance bookings available through their website.

The entrance features a tile panel with the Latin inscription 'Pax intrantibus', meaning 'Peace to those who enter', above the vestibule.
