Logement van Rotterdam, Government lodging at Plein 4, The Hague, Netherlands.
Logement van Rotterdam is a government lodging at Plein 4 in The Hague, distinguished by its five-window facade with an elevated ground floor and basement windows. The building reflects classical Dutch architecture from the 18th century.
Architect Adriaan de Moens built this structure between 1739 and 1746 to house Rotterdam representatives attending government business in The Hague. From 1820 onward, it served as the headquarters for the War Department, which eventually became the Ministry of Defense.
The building displays Dutch administrative architecture with Rotterdam's coat of arms prominently placed on the roof gable. This feature reminds visitors of the historical connection to the home city of its former residents.
The building sits on a central square in the city center, making it easily reachable by public transport or on foot. Visitors should note that access may be restricted and prior arrangement might be necessary.
The original building was outfitted with gold leather wallpaper, a luxurious finish that reflected wealth and status. The property also featured an extensive garden stretching to Kalvermarkt, complete with a coach house and stable.
