Originally, there was a small gate in the city walls at this location, the Raampoort, which was demolished in 1844. The police station was built in 1888. Originally, the building was both a police station and an office for the neighbourhood secretary. After the neighbourhood secretariats were abolished in 1898, the entire building was put into use as a police station. In 1929, three adjacent plots in the Marnixstraat were incorporated into the police station. The Japanese designer furniture retailer 'Time & Style' opened a store in the building in 2017.(Submitted on June 21, 2025.)
