The Kurhaus of Scheveningen, 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 with the ceilings painted by the Brussels artist Van Hoeck and his large workshop.  Several kings and heads of state sojourned in the Kurhaus during its heyday.

    Until the mid-1960s, the Kurhaus remained a public attraction as a major concert hall, at which many top artists performed. The last performance, Aug 8 1964, was by the Rolling Stones, who had to flee the building due to the vast numbers of excited fans outside.

    Fallen into disrepair and closed in 1969, the Kurhaus was saved from demolition in 1975 by being listed as a historic building, was completely renovated and reopened in 1979 by Princess Beatrix.

    Scheveningen is one of the eight districts of The Hague, Netherlands, as well as a sub district and city which is a popular modern seaside resort, with a long, sandy beach, an esplanade, a pier, and a lighthouse.  The harbor is used for both fishing and tourism.

    This card postmarked in Scheveningen 1933 is in good condition with minor wear and a clean image.  The reverse has some album paper stuck to the bottom edges but other wise is also clean with an interesting message.
