The Hilversum Town Hall by Willem Marinus Dudok is considered as the finest example of the 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. He mentions the style in connection to architects like Dirk Roosenburg, Herman van der Kloot Meijburg and Jan Wils. Hendrik Wouda can also be considered a part of the school.
