Huize Westerhout, National heritage building in Beverwijk, Netherlands
Description
Huize Westerhout is a red brick mansion with Renaissance-style elements including decorative sandstone details and stepped gables on its outer walls. The structure combines classical design with ornamental stonework across its facade.
History
The building was designed in 1896 by architect J.J. van Nieukerken for mayor Gerard Salomon Boreel as a replacement for an older estate that previously stood on the site. This period brought new architectural approaches to the region.
Culture
The interior displays decoration from the 1700s with ornate doors, marble features, and detailed ceiling work. These elements reflect the taste of the wealthy family who lived here.

The mansion now hosts a cafe where visitors can experience the rooms and their furnishings firsthand. Its location at Westerhoutplein makes it accessible and easy to find in the town center.
