Mooi Gaasterland, Municipal monument in Rijs, Netherlands
The structure combines elements of chalet architecture with local Dutch design, featuring distinct rooflines and decorative wooden elements throughout the exterior.
Built in 1912 by architect M.J. van der Schilden for Maatschappij Gaasterland, the building later served as a children's holiday colony from 1925 onwards.
The chapel on the grounds contains wall paintings by Jacob Ydema depicting religious themes, including the Last Judgment and the Apocalyptic Lamb.
Located at coordinates 52°51'49.7"N and 5°29'54.6"E, the building transformed into a hospitality venue in 2015 after extensive renovations.
During World War II, the German occupiers covered the chapel's murals with whitewash when they repurposed the building for their operations.
