Wilhelminaplein 02

Description

This building currently houses the Ministry of Justice, but originally, it was constructed as a public elementary school between 1865 and 1877. The U-shaped structure initially featured a single floor with open galleries along the inner walls for optimal ventilation. In 1891, due to the decision to segregate boys and girls, it transformed into a girls’ school and was later named after the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina from 1903 onwards. Ultimately, the building no longer met the required standards, and after 1954, it served various government functions. A notable change occurred during the 1992 renovation when the original open galleries on both floors were enclosed with wooden latticework.
