Huis Westerbeek, Historic townhouse in Frederiksoord, Netherlands.
The white mansion features symmetrical windows, a central entrance with columns, and stands within landscaped grounds near the Westerbeeksloot canal.
Built around 1770 by Nicolaas van Heloma, the house became the headquarters of the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid after its purchase in 1818 for 57,000 guilders.
The mansion represents the Dutch social reform movement as it served as the residence of General Johannes van den Bosch, who established colonies for poverty reduction.
Visitors can examine the architectural details of this national monument during business hours when the building functions as offices for the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid.
The building stands on the site of the original 1614 estate created by François van Westerbeek, who developed the surrounding peatlands through canal construction.
