Schutterswei, Prison complex in Alkmaar, Netherlands
The Schutterswei prison compound features classical architecture with cell blocks, workshops, and a central courtyard surrounded by high security walls.
Built in 1884 with 26 cells, the facility expanded to 104 units by 1893 and remained operational as a detention center until its closure in 2013.
The prison grounds occupy the former training field of the Alkmaar municipal guard, giving the facility its name Schutterswei, which translates to 'guard's meadow'.
The facility transformed into Hotel The Fallon, offering 102 rooms and suites, conference spaces, fitness facilities, and event venues for 375 guests.
During its final operational years, the prison housed illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds from European Union countries awaiting deportation.
