The Hoftoren, a 29-storey modern skyscraper completed in 2003 in The Hague, Netherlands, rises 141.86 metres and ranks as the city's third-tallest building. Designed by the New York–based architecture firm Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and constructed by Heijmans Bouw BV, it is nicknamed "De Vulpen" (The Fountain Pen) for its distinctive form. The tower houses the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science and, since 2012, has provided temporary offices for the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport.
