Canton, Rijksmonument villa in Baarn, Netherlands
The Canton villa features a symmetrical facade with curved dormer windows, a central projecting tower, and a composite gable roof across two stories.
Originally built in Chinese style in 1793, the current Canton structure was replaced in 1910 by architects Theodoor Gerard Schill and D.H. Haverkamp.
The building received national monument status as a Rijksmonument, representing significant Dutch architectural heritage from the early twentieth century.
The interior maintains its original configuration with main rooms facing the garden, while exterior modifications require environmental permits from local authorities.
An eight-sided garden pavilion stands on the grounds alongside the main villa, which was constructed for August Janssen, director of Deli-Batavia.
