Diaconessenhuis, Leeuwarden, Former Protestant hospital and national monument in Leeuwarden, Netherlands.
The Diaconessenhuis stands on Noordersingel 88, featuring brown brick walls, ornamental stone bands, and a slate-tiled truncated gable roof with nine front bays.
Architect Willem Cornelis de Groot designed this Renaissance Revival building in 1894, which operated as a hospital until merging with other facilities to form Medisch Centrum Leeuwarden in 1982.
The central entrance displays Tuscan half-columns and a broken pediment with an urn, while the frieze bears the inscription 'DIACONESSENHUIS' in traditional Dutch lettering.
The structure now contains residential apartments, maintaining its original front and side façades while incorporating modern amenities and balconies for current inhabitants.
Each window features distinctive cross-window designs with decorative crowns, and the central risalit displays claw pieces and sculpted symbols in aedicules.
