Stadswerkhuis, Amsterdam, Rijksmonument nursing home in central Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The Stadswerkhuis, located at Roetersstraat 2, features symmetrical shapes, giant order pilasters, gable roofs, and central pediments in its architectural design.
Constructed between 1779 and 1782 under architect Abraham van der Hart, the Stadswerkhuis received its Rijksmonument designation in 1970 with registration number 4983.
