Huize Tavenier, Art Nouveau villa in Groningen, Netherlands

The white-faced brick villa features round-arch windows, granite columns, and an irregularly shaped tent roof with decorative floral motifs throughout the structure.

Built in 1905 by architect A.Th. van Elmpt for R. Hooites-Meursing, the widow of a strawboard manufacturer, the villa originally bore the name Vrederust.

The interior exhibits white marble paneling, stained glass windows, and detailed reliefs depicting themes connected to the strawboard industry of the Hooites-Meursing family.

Located at Ubbo Emmiussingel 110, the building currently functions as office space while maintaining its status as a protected national monument.

From 1949 to 1981, this villa served as a maternity clinic where approximately 27,000 babies from Groningen and Drenthe provinces were born.
