**This classic building is now used as a venue for events. **

De Fundatie van Renswoude is an impressive monumental building in the Museum Quarter in the center of Utrecht. Originally built as a boarding school for orphaned boys, the foundation building on Agnietenstraat was completed in 1761.

The building contained a wing for the pupils which housed lecture halls, dormitories, a dining room, and the secretary-steward's office. This office, the Portrait Room, and one of the lecture halls are still completely intact. The building is one of the highlights of the Rococo in the Netherlands. The stairways with sculptures, the Rococo ceiling in the hallway and the ornate Rococo cartouches above the doors have been preserved in their original stat as well.

Today it is used as a venue for different events such as weddings, meetings and private dinners.
