Beurs, Corn exchange building in Schiedam, Netherlands

The Beurs features two floors with classical architectural elements, including symmetrical windows, prominent cornices, and a central entrance facing the street.

Constructed in 1792 under architect Jan Giudici's direction, this Rijksmonument served as a center for grain trade during Schiedam's economic growth period.

The building now houses the Bibliotheek Schiedam, Netherlands' first green library, connecting residents through literature and community activities.

Located near Schiedam's city center, the structure maintains regular opening hours as a public library with study spaces and digital resources.

The building's original grain trading floor remains visible through architectural elements that reflect its role in Schiedam's grain and jenever production history.
