Muntgebouw (Coin Building) - Utrecht
This Neo-Classical-style building by architect C.H. Peters dates from 1911. The building served as housing for the Coins, later became the building of the Money Museum and is now a conference and event venue.
Coins have not been minted there since 2020, when production moved to nearby Houten. Tip: you can still find coins IN the pavement along Leidsekade, on the route to junction 26. They are large-scale copies of guilders and change, once intended as signposts for pedestrians from Utrecht Central Station. Just dismount and walk with bike in hand: past memories for those who used the guilder, past history for those that are a distant past.
The building still exudes the grandeur the architect had in mind and is still one of the most beautiful buildings in Utrecht. Basically, the building can only be admired from the outside.
