Theehuis Selwerderhof
Immediately after the construction of Selwerderhof cemetery, an auditorium was built on the site. First a temporary solution that offered space for about forty people. Only later, in 1964, the second, larger auditorium was also ready.

When the latter was commissioned, the first auditorium was relegated to storage space. Later renovations revealed the small auditorium still in very pristine condition. The small building has a 15-sided, geometric, almost circular, floor plan. The structure is formed by slender, hollow columns of reinforced concrete. The building is capped with a concrete slab incorporating an unusual pentagonal window with glass bricks. The fifth corner symbolises the sky. After repairing the concrete slab and replacing the roofing, the building was repurposed as a teahouse. Externally, the building only changed its colour scheme and the remaining steel window frames regained their original pink-red colour. The teahouse is run by volunteers.
