Gemeenlandshuis Zwanenburg, Water board meeting hall in Halfweg, Netherlands.
The brick building features Ionian pilasters on the upper floor, with a crown list and triangular pediment decorated with festoons and attributes.
Architect Pieter Post designed this water board meeting hall in 1645 for the Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland to manage water levels of IJ and Haarlem Lake.
The building displays coats of arms of the Dyckgraef ende hoochheymraeden van Rynlandt members on its front facade, representing local water management authority.
Located at Haarlemmerstraatweg 7, the structure stands near Halfweg-Zwanenburg railway station, providing convenient access for visitors to this historical monument.
The building housed weather observations where Jan Noppen created the Dutch windspeed standard based on mill sail usage between 1706 and 1734.
