The Kurhaus is a prominent building located in Scheveningen, near The Hague in The Netherlands
It was built between 1884 and 1885 by the German architects Johann Friedrich Henkenhaf and Friedrich Ebert. It consisted originally of a concert hall and a hotel with 120 rooms. Having suffered serious damage by fire, it was rebuilt between 1886 and 1887. The ceilings were painted by the Brussels artist Van Hoeck and his large workshop. Several kings and heads of state have sojourned in the Kurhaus during its heyday. Until the 1960's the Kurhaus remained an attraction to the public by the many performances of top artists. One of the last performances was by the Rolling Stones in 1965.
Thanks for sending anonymous suggestions to move this photo like:
"Comment by : this is the correct location of the Kurhaus. In Google Maps it will even tell you. The location that it was is a restaurant owned by the Kurhaus but the picture that was displayed was a picture of the Kurhaus and that location was incorrect."
But as recommended by Panoramio, the photo is mapped at the place where it was taken, not over the subject of the photo.
