The Noordsingel complex in Rotterdam includes an exceptional, star-shaped prison dating from 1872 and a stately courthouse, dating from 1899, which was designed by the erstwhile government architect at the Ministry of Justice Willem Metzelaar, who also designed many other courthouses as well as the Koepelgevangenis (‘Dome Prison’) in Haarlem. The courthouse on the Noordsingel has not been in function for quite some time, while the prison plans to close in 2012. Now this area is under development for the new residential blocks called ''Noordsingel park"
