A PIECE OF HISTORY The building, placed on the municipal monument list in 2004, combines historic character with elegant architecture. Its core dates back to the 17th century, still visible in the mezzanine and windows of decreasing height. At the end of the 19th century, the façade underwent a major renovation: the gable was replaced by a classic façade, the original sandstone ornaments were replaced with cast stone details, while the hardstone stoop was preserved. The façade is plastered in block pattern, with a smooth-finished bel-etage, retaining the building’s timeless charm. DISCLAIMER This property has been measured in accordance with NEN2580 standards.
