moved to the south bank of the Buizengat after 1688. In 1701, a part of the complex at the Groenendaal end was destroyed by fire. The rebuilding of the affected wing was commemorated with a foundation stone laid by Diderik Hogendorp. In the 18th century, the second arsenal closed and was modernised by the architect Jan Giudici. G. D. Wijckerheld Bisdom laid its first stone on 8 May 1783. Resulting from all these extensions, a large rectangular building gradually took shape. In 1823, the second arsenal was refurbished for the marines. In 1846, the marine corps was disbanded, and in 1868 it returned. After the dissolution of the admiralties in 1795, the complex was known as the Naval Shipyard (Marinewerf). It closed in 1849, the last building becoming a state-run bonded warehouse in 1855. The admiralty also had a ropewalk (lijnbaan) with associated buildings at the Lagendijk just outside the Oostpoort. It was used from 1697 to 1847 and was 265 m long by 10 m wide.
