Erasmushuis

The Erasmushuis on the Coolsingel is defined by its twelve-story white brick tower, which stands out as one of the few structures in central Rotterdam to survive the bombardment of May nineteen forty. Designed by the architect Willem Marinus Dudok and completed in nineteen forty, the building served as the headquarters for the Hollandsche Bank-Unie. Its design includes a distinctive lower wing raised on six-meter-high pillars, a choice intended to preserve views through to the historic Schielandshuis garden nearby.
