Zonnestraal is a former tuberculosis sanatorium in Hilversum, the Netherlands, begun in 1924 and designed by Jan Duiker and Bernard Bijvoet, with Jan Gerko Wiebenga also named as an architect. An example of the Nieuwe Bouwen, it is a Rijksmonument complex. It was submitted to UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1995 but was not ultimately listed. Its restoration by Bierman Henket Architecten and Wessel de Jonge Architecten won the 2010 World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize.
