You're standing in Veenhuizen, in front of the National Prison Museum. The building in front of you is the Second Institution, built in 1823. Three of these huge institutions once stood here, and this is the only one left. Together with the rest of Veenhuizen, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2020.
