==Head office==

The bank was established from the start on {{ill|Oude Turfmarkt|nl}}, where it occupied 17th-century houses. In the 1860s, a purpose-built head office, designed by architect {{ill|Willem Anthonie Froger|nl}}, was erected on the same location and inaugurated in 1869. Nearly a century later in 1968, as the bank has left the building for its new seat, it was taken over by the [[University of Amsterdam]] which had long been established just nearby, and subsequently repurposed as the location of the [[Allard Pierson Museum]], which opened there in October 1976.<ref>{{cite web |website=Allard Pierson Museum |title=Our Buildings |url=https://allardpierson.nl/en/about-us/our-buildings/ }}</ref>

In the 1960s, a new head office complex was constructed on {{ill|Frederiksplein (Amsterdam){{!}}Frederiksplein|nl|Frederiksplein (Amsterdam)}} and inaugurated by [[Juliana of the Netherlands|Queen Juliana]] in May 1968. Architect {{ill|Marius Duintjer|nl}}'s stark design of 1961 consisted on a low square base and a rectangular office tower. In the late 1980s, as the bank was running out of space, it was complemented with a second, oval tower designed in 1984 by architects {{ill|Jelle Abma|nl}} and Marc a Campo, whose construction was finished in 1989. In 2008, Marc a Campo designed a further extension by adding an extra floor to the square base. In a comprehensive renovation during the early 2020s, the oval tower was demolished and the base remodeled to return the building to an exterior appearance more similar to the original one of the 1960s.<ref>{{cite web |website=De Nederlandsche Bank |title=Renovation of DNB's head office |url=https://www.dnb.nl/en/about-us/renovation-of-dnb-s-head-office/ }}</ref>
