The history of the Kurhaus starts in 1818.
In that year the Scheveningen Jan Pronk decided to build a bathhouse on the beach where spa guests who came to the beach to enjoy the healthy seawater and sea air could also use warm water and cold water baths. It became such a success that in the following years the bathhouse expanded more and more until in 1884 plans were made for a grand hotel. A year, later the Kurhaus had arisen. Today, the historic ambience is still notable throughout the hotel. The Kurhaus is without a doubt the most beautiful building in Scheveningen.
