Villa Heineken, Protected historical villa in Amsterdam, Netherlands

The three-story structure combines neo-Renaissance elements with chalet influences, featuring decorated brickwork, stone details, and multiple roof styles at Tweede Weteringplantsoen 21.

Gerard Adriaan Heineken commissioned architect Dolf van Gendt to design this residence in 1891, but passed away two years after its completion.

The facade incorporates tile panels with floral patterns and symbolic references to trade and grain cultivation, reflecting late 19th-century Dutch architectural traditions.

The villa currently functions as office space and stands opposite the former Heineken brewery on Stadhouderskade, maintaining its connection to the company.

On November 9, 1983, Freddy Heineken and his driver were kidnapped outside this villa, an event that changed corporate security practices in the Netherlands.
