New Hague School (architecture)

The New Hague School (Dutch: Nieuwe Haagse School) is a Dutch architectural style dating from the period between the two World Wars. Related to Amsterdam School and Bauhaus architecture, the style is characterised by its straight lines and cubist shapes. The term was first used in 1920, by the Amsterdam School-architect C. J. Blaauw.

The Hilversum Town Hall is considered as the finest example of the New Hague School architecture.
