Plazuidplein 12801 WK GoudaRaam e.o.

Located in a unique spot in the historic center of Gouda, nestled in the peaceful, car-free Koningshof district, you’ll find this extraordinary monumental residential tower. Plazuidplein 1 is perfect for those who appreciate character, history, and a central location. This charming tiny house-style water tower offers approximately 20 m² of living space spread over three floors and is move-in ready. Originally built in 1920 and fully renovated in 2018, it has a volume of approximately 86 m³. In addition to being a unique residence, the tower is also ideal for use as a B&B—a rare opportunity for first-time buyers, investors, or parents looking to help their child find a place of their own with future rental potential. The tower is part of the former Royal Earthenware Factory Zuid-Holland ("Plazuid"). During the thorough restoration, key features such as the roof, foundation, and historic brickwork were meticulously returned to their original condition. The tower is within walking distance of supermarkets, boutique shops, Q-park Bolwerk, and the main train station (NS-station).

"My grandfather worked as a ceramic painter at the Royal Earthenware Factory. We are proud to have given this tower a new life as the smallest residential tower in the Netherlands." Historical Background: Koningshof in Gouda boasts a rich heritage as the home of the Royal Earthenware Factory Zuid-Holland (Plazuid), world-renowned for its tableware. After its closure in 1965, the area fell into decline, but a major redevelopment restored its historic buildings to their former glory. The factory premises have been transformed into residences, hospitality venues—and this unique residential tower, now ready for its next proud owner.
