The Koepelgevangenis is a former prison in Haarlem, Netherlands. It is one of three Panopticon-style buildings situated in the country. One of three designed by Willem Metzelaar, the building was completed in 1901. A Rijksmonument, the prison closed in 2016.[1] After the prison's closure, the building, along with the one at Arnhem, was used to house asylum seekers to the Netherlands.[2][3]
