| This is in my opinion a fan- tastic Vienna Secession: (Austrian Jugendstil) buil- ding (1908). Architect was: |
L. de Wolf and he designed more buildings in The Hague. <---- This is the entrance of the shop- ping area Haagsche Bluf |
Haagsche Bluf Unlike the other faça- des this one is original but wasnt standing at this spot but at the Hooftskade. It dates back from 1889 |
Haagsche Bluf This is an exact copy of a still existing fantastic jugendstil building on the Denneweg. |
