The former Palace of Justice in Amsterdam (now the luxury hotel Rosewood which opened in 2025 after a 10 year renovation) was constructed between 1825 and 1829.
Amsterdam's City Architect, Jan de Greef, was responsible for the design. Although no longer recognizable as such, it is in fact a large-scale renovation and expansion of the Almoners' Orphanage, dating from 1663 to 1665, an orphanage for the poorest children.
Definitely worth a visit to admire the 1000+ art works or gardens designed by Piet Boon.
