Foreestenhuis, Religious monument in Hoorn, Netherlands.
The Foreestenhuis features a natural stone facade with seven bays across two stories, crowned by a cornice decorated with sculptures and family coats of arms.
Built in 1724, the building was commissioned by Nanning van Foreest, who served as mayor of Hoorn and held a director position at the West India Company.
The interior halls display intricate stucco work with putti holding portrait medallions, while one ceiling depicts the classical scene of The Judgment of Paris.
The right section of the building houses a church hall used by the Doopsgezinde Remonstrantse Gemeente Hoorn, equipped with an 1865 Hermanus Knipscheer organ.
The facade appears symmetrical but contains an 81-centimeter width difference on the right side due to the arrangement of older buildings behind it.
