The foremone Mennonite orphanage in Koog aan de Zaan

(Lagedijk 41) came into being in 1910 to plans of D. Stam from a legacy of the Zaandijk baker D. Sweepe in memory of his daughter Johanna Elisabeth Sweepe. The block-shaped cross-wing building exhibits neo-Renaissance, Art Nouveau and rationalistic details. Above the entrance is a memorial stone with gothic writing.
