De Burcht is a historic monument dating from 1900, designed by the famous architect H.P. Berlage (1856-1934).
It is the oldest trade union building in the Netherlands. It was commissioned at the time by the richest and most powerful trade union in the Netherlands, the General Dutch Union of Diamond workers. This Union, established in 1894, developed under the chairmanship of Henri Polak (1868-1943) to become the first modern trade union in the Netherlands. Henri Polak intended the building to be a monument to the workers' movement.
