Stadsgehoorzaal Leiden, Concert hall and Rijksmonument in central Leiden, Netherlands

The Stadsgehoorzaal features a red brick facade with stone decorations, nine window axes, and a central zinc gable roof along Breestraat.

The current building replaced a previous concert hall destroyed by fire in 1889, leading to architect Daniel Knuttel's Neo-Renaissance design completed in 1891.

The Great Hall maintains its original character with wooden paneling, plastered Ionic and Doric columns, and gilded decorations throughout the interior spaces.

The venue contains multiple performance spaces, including the Great Hall, Chamber Music Hall, Aalmarktzaal, and Breezaal for different types of musical events.

Knuttel incorporated design elements from European venues like the Gewandhaus in Leipzig and the Philharmonie in Berlin into the building's architecture.
