At that time, the entire complex served as de Fort headquarters. Around 1900, the last remnants of this building complex were demolished.‘s Lands Huys today:
Reconstruction of the present-day‘s Lands Huys began in April 1980. It was literally rebuilt on the remains of the old foundations that had been rediscovered.

The restaurant area (the front hall) seats around 65 people and the main hall seats around 130 people. ‘s Lands Huys is open all year round.
