De Moriaan, Rijksmonument house in Westhaven, Gouda, Netherlands.

The Renaissance facade of De Moriaan exhibits ornate decorations including tobacco motifs and features a forward-leaning structure that extends the upper floors.

Originally established as a bakery named De Twaelff Halff Maenen before 1605, the building later transformed into a grocery store called In de Goecoop.

From 1938 to 2007, De Moriaan housed municipal collections showcasing Gouda's ceramic industry, particularly focusing on traditional pipe-making and pottery techniques.

Located at Westhaven 29, the building received its Rijksmonument status on March 28, 1966, ensuring its preservation as a national heritage site.

A medicinal garden containing traditional healing plants once existed behind the building during its time as the National Pharmaceutical Museum.
