Grant for the restoration and public accessibility of the Main Building.

On February 27, 2024, the annual grants made available by the province of North Holland for improving the accessibility of national monuments were presented in Haarlem. Owner Joep Karel received a subsidy of 115.000 euros from the hands of Provincial Executive member Jelle Beemsterboer. Joep Karel called this amount a very nice boost to get the plans for the memorial centre in the Hoofdgebouw off the ground and was very pleased with this stimulus from the province.
