This is a national monument with a long history dating back to the 16th century. It evolved from a small dwelling on the Agnietenklooster estate into a patrician house. From 1915, it served as a tailoring shop for the court, with a new roof on the front house for a furriery, an activity that required ample light. In 1977, it was charmingly restored in a modern way, including the preservation of the tall fireplace with a Carrara marble mantelpiece and various stained glass windows. Currently, the property is being used as a residence, with the current owner running a contemporary art gallery on the ground floor for many years, which later was repurposed as a conference room and psychotherapeutic practice.
