Het Zeehuis, Historical vacation house in Bergen aan Zee, Netherlands.

The three-story brick building stands near the North Sea coast, featuring distinctive stained glass windows and traditional Dutch architectural elements.

Constructed in 1908 by architect Piet Heyn, Het Zeehuis served as a summer residence for children from the Amsterdam Municipal Orphanage.

The building received Rijksmonument status for its preservation of early 20th-century social welfare architecture and connection to Dutch childcare history.

Het Zeehuis functions as a nature house with two kitchens, multiple halls, and accommodations for large groups, located 500 meters from the beach.

The building marks the starting point of the Trekvogelpad, a 414-kilometer hiking trail that traverses the Netherlands from east to west.
