Witte Huis, Art Nouveau office building in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The Witte Huis stands 43 meters tall with ten floors, featuring white facades and decorative elements characteristic of late 19th-century architecture.
In 1898, architect Willem Molenbroek completed this structure using 1,000 foundation piles to ensure stability in Rotterdam's soft soil conditions.
The building earned the status of Rijksmonument for its architectural significance as one of the first high-rise structures in Europe.
Located at coordinates 51.918611, 4.491667, the Witte Huis sits near Rotterdam's old harbor, offering views of the waterfront.
The structure withstood World War II bombardments that destroyed much of central Rotterdam, making it a rare survivor of pre-war architecture.
