(Oostereiland approx.) Stands on a harbor dike embroidered on behalf of the Admiralty from West Friesland to island around 1662. A 17th-century warehouse was doubled in the 18th century and fitted with the current hood.
In 1810, this building served as director's residence at a military prison, for which an L-shaped wing was erected on the north side. Around 1830 the whole U-shaped building was decorated as House of Correction and on the south side expanded with a second U-shaped building. The director's residence was given the plastered eclectic appearance in 1867, presumably based on plans by A.C. Pierson. In 1870-'73 arose on the south side to design by J.F. Metzelaar a three-layer H-shaped building, often referred to as the 'alcove building'. Until 1932, the whole complex served as a government institution and then until 1998 as a penitentiary institution.
