Statencollege Hoorn
This national monument was once built as a State College for the Committeed Councils of West Friesland and the North Quarter. Now it is part of the Westfries Museum. Together, the collection and the building tell the story of the seventeenth century. Originally there were several houses on this site, including probably one of the first stone houses of Hoorn; the Proostenhuis. The late medieval vaulted cellar is one of the few remnants of this building.
