De Westfries, Historical museum building in Hoorn, Netherlands
The Statencollege building from 1632 houses the museum collection across 25 rooms, featuring painted coats of arms on its stepped facade.
The structure served as both a courtroom and museum until 1932, originally built for the governing council of West Friesland and the Northern Quarter.
The museum collection contains 30,000 items including paintings, silver objects, porcelain, and artifacts from the Dutch East India Company trading period.
The museum building remains closed for renovation works until mid-2025, with temporary exhibitions relocated to the Statenpoort on Nieuwstraat.
Archaeological excavations in 1953 revealed 15th century cellars beneath the museum, which now host specialized exhibitions.
