History Koorenhuis
The Koorenhuis is the place in The Hague for cultural experience and talent development, for young and old. Various activities and events take place, such as classes, workshops, festivals, shows, concerts, etc. The complex of the Koorenhuis originally consists of four different buildings: an open market hall and three residential houses. Trade, art, culture and education took place simultaneously. In 1967, the four buildings were designated as a National Monument and registered in the National Monument Register under number 17897. The diversity of the buildings is reflected in the social function they have fulfilled. In 1988 the complex was thoroughly restored and a new building was put in place at the back.
