The Muntgebouw in Utrecht will open its monumental doors in early 2026 following a loving restoration. On the grounds of Het Muntgebouw stand three buildings: the Main Building, the Smelthuis and the Sports Building. The nationally listed Muntgebouw combines historic charm with modern facilities, such as offices, hospitality, event and conference space, a gym and creative business space.

For more than a century, the building served as the Royal Dutch Mint. The neoclassical building was designed by state architect C.H. Peters and officially opened by Queen Wilhelmina in 1911. Coins were minted and stored there until 2020.

In the impressive Muntgebouw you will find a mix of workspaces, each with its own character, perfectly suited to your organization’s story.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by the monumental charm and original details. The high-quality finish, designed by Heyligers Architects and Nicemakers, combined with sustainable technologies, completes the Muntgebouw. Working, relaxing and meeting come together under one roof.
