Scheveningen
View of Scheveningen, the seaside district of The Hague, NL, lined by restaurants and hotels. The Kurhaus (Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus The Hague) is seen on the left. The concert-hall/hotel, built by the German architects Johann Friedrich Henkenhaf and Friedrich Ebert, opened its doors in 1885, after Scheveningen grew in popularity by the alleged therapeutic effects of seawater (people were pulled by horse into the sea to prevent rheumatism, nervous diseases or obesity since the early 1800s). Even the Rolling Stones performed here in 1964 (a wild audience led to the interruption of the concert after 30min!), but the Kurhaus eventually fell into disrepair, closed in 1969 and was almost demolished in 1975. It was saved by being listed as a historic building, which was eventually completely renovated into a high-class hotel.
