Lonkhuys (Ogle House)
This is the first house you see when you walk into the Laven Laar.
From this house you have a good overview of the town square. (You also pass through here on the monorail) |

- Excerpt from Lavenloop -
'‘ Het Vleugelhelmhuys’ or The wing helm house. It is also known as the Lonkhuys or Oglehouse.
It almost looks like an observation tower from a medieval settlement and the wonderful roof construction reminds one of a Chinese soldier’s helmet. But looks can be deceiving. There’s nothing military about this building, Nowhere and I do mean nowhere in the Lavelaar can you find such military influences. We cannot abide any misunderstanding on this matter. We love good humour, good food and drink. Our buildings are representative of spontaneous fantasy and the joy of life. This is how we live our life too. We use this building mostly for meetings and festivities but it also affords a lovely view. '
