*'''[[Museum De Valk|Molen de Valk]]''' – a corn-grinding windmill, now home to a museum (1743)
*'''Pesthuis''', which was built during 1657–1661 at that time just outside the city for curing patients suffering the [[bubonic plague]]. However, after it was built the feared disease did not occur in the Netherlands anymore so it was never used for its original purpose. The building has been used as a military hospital, prison, national asylum and army museum. Until 2019, it served as the entrance of [[Naturalis]]. This museum, one of the largest [[natural history]] museums in the world, was recently renovated and is a building of interest in itself.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.saatchigallery.com/museums/museum-profile/Naturalis+%25E2%2580%2593+National+Museum+Of+Natural+History/2575.html |title=Naturalis – National Museum of Natural History :: The Saatchi Gallery |last=Gallery |first=Saatchi |website=www.saatchigallery.com |access-date=22 March 2016 |archive-date=2 February 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202000200/http://www.saatchigallery.com/museums/museum-profile/Naturalis+%25E2%2580%2593+National+Museum+Of+Natural+History/2575.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
