De Burcht / Nationaal Vakbondsmuseum (Trade Union Museum)
De Burcht is the oldest trade union building in the whole of the Netherlands. This impressive structure was designed by Hendrik Petrus Berlage in 1899, and was commissioned by the Algemeene Nederlandsche Diamantwerkers Bond (ANDB). At the time, the ANDB (diamond workers union) was the country’s largest and richest trade union.
