    Together with A.R. Wittop Koning designed the shopping and office complex “De Faun” by Van Elmpt in 1938. Originally intended as a multifunctional office building with a restaurant, bicycle shed and warehouses. This is a design in the style of the Delft School. Van Elmpt has designed in many styles.

    The sculptures are by Willem Valk, a descendant of a Leiden family (many generations) of artistic craftsmen.

    The refugium of the women's monastery Essen (Haren) used to be on this site. Here the nuns could hide if the monastery was threatened.
