The complex was built by architect G. Westerhout to house the Rijks Hogere Burger School, which was founded in 1921. As the school had to find temporary accommodation for a few years, the first lessons were held at the Klooster, in a temporary wooden building. A striking feature of the schoolgebouw is the animal ornamentation made of travertine (limestone) and architectural pottery. These ornaments were designed by the sculptor Adrianus Remiëns. A low wall has been built alongside the school, connecting it to the staff accommodation next door. The building is still in use as a school.
