Stately and historical town hall (Est. 1664) - Prinsenhuis (Hellevoetsluis/NL)

High water level along the quay, days of rainfall and melting snow from the upstream rivers almost flooded the quay.

Monumental historic town hall, the mid 19th century renovation has given this Dutch Classical style building an even more beautiful appearance. It really fits in the history of Hellevoetsluis

Quote: Het herstel na de #watersnoodramp was aanleiding om het #Prinsenhuis tot zo mooi te renoveren.

Hellevoetsluis: Prinsenhuis - Urban Photography
Prinsenhuis (Est 1664, monument) - built in the mid-seventeenth century as a home for the "commies", an official, and lodging of the Committed Councils of the States of Holland and West Friesland who supervised Hellevoetsluis on behalf of the Committed Councils of Holland charged with the supervision, construction, maintenance and operation of the port and Fortress and collecting taxes. With building included living- and guest rooms on the first floor, and a meeting room, kitchen and pantry on the ground floor.

From 1963 to 1966, with the support of funds from the flood disaster (Watersnoodramp), the restoration was carried out to bring this Admiralty building back to its original 17th-century Dutch Classical style. The layout and interior have also been adapted, such as a new council chamber on the first floor and many original decorations have been restored. Today we see a stylish facade of bricks with the original 17th-century cross frames and a stately landing. With on either side the outbuildings such as the 'De Ruyterhuis' and 'Het Kleine Kerkje', formerly warehouses and rifle storage and workshops, this as a whole gives a stately and appropriate historical appearance.

The monumental building is still in use by the municipality, with the main public role being the use of the council chamber as a wedding hall.
