The Koepelgevangenis is a former prison in Arnhem, Netherlands. It is one of three Panopticon-style buildings situated in the country. Designed by Johan Metzelaar, the building was completed in 1886. A Rijksmonument, the prison closed in 2016.[1] After the prison's closure, the building, along with the one at Haarlem, was used to house asylum seekers to the Netherlands.[2][3]
