Museum Het Zwanenbroedershuis, Heritage museum in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.
Museum Het Zwanenbroedershuis is a heritage museum in a protected historic building in 's-Hertogenbosch that displays collections from the 16th and 17th centuries. The exhibitions include handwritten choir books, period furniture, and heraldic records that document the organization's role in local history.
The brotherhood was founded in 1318 and moved to this building in 1484 after receiving a donation from a local benefactor. The original structure collapsed in 1839 and was subsequently rebuilt in a new architectural style.
The name refers to the medieval brotherhood that operated here, uniting members through charity and mutual support within the community. This religious organization shaped the city's social fabric for centuries through its charitable works.
The museum is located at Hinthamerstraat 94 and is easy to reach on foot in the city center. Visitors should plan their trip around limited opening hours, as the building is open only on selected weekdays and one weekend day.
The building underwent a complete redesign in 1846 with neogothic architecture that blends medieval heritage with Victorian-era style. The facade displays ornamental details reflecting 19th-century romanticism that set it apart from other period buildings in the city.
