Dit is in Bethlehem, Renaissance house in Gasthuisstraat, Netherlands.

The building features a sculptured frieze depicting battling horsemen beneath the first floor and multiple ornamental elements across its facade.

Constructed in 1566 as a patrician residence, the structure incorporates a stone from the former Franciscan monastery after the city's capture by the Water Beggars.

The entrance displays a Dutch inscription from 1566 warning about mortality, while a relief shows a Nativity scene with the text 'Dit is in Bethlehem'.

The building now houses the Mandarijn bookstore and serves as a meeting space for the Historical Association Oud-Gorcum.

The side wall along Tinnergietersteeg displays the construction year through decorative wall anchors integrated into the building's structure.
