Witte Anna, Residential tower in Bezuidenhout district, The Hague, Netherlands.
Witte Anna is a circular residential tower in The Hague's Bezuidenhout district that rises 77 meters with 26 floors holding 102 social rental apartments. Its design features an eight-story opening that creates a direct walking passage to the Prins Bernhardviaduct and connects to the second level of the Central Station.
The tower was completed in the 1980s as the final phase of Bezuidenhout's reconstruction after the British bombing raid of 1945. The neighborhood's rebuilding took place over several decades and shaped its modern character.
The building was named after the widow of a housing association director, establishing a personal connection to the community that developed around it. This naming choice reflects how the neighborhood honored the people who helped rebuild the area.
The building is conveniently located next to the Central Station with good walking connections to surrounding districts. Visitors should note that this is a residential building and can only be viewed from the outside.
Until 2007 this was The Hague's tallest residential building before the Strijkijzer structure took that title. Its former status as the neighborhood's defining landmark shows how quickly a city's modern skyline can transform.
