Cromhouthuizen, Canal house complex on Herengracht, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Cromhouthuizen consists of four adjacent canal houses with ornate facades, symmetrical windows, and decorative stone elements along the Herengracht canal.
Architect Philips Vingboons designed these residential buildings in 1662 for Jacob Cromhout, a merchant who established his family's presence in Amsterdam's canal district.
The structures exemplify the Dutch Baroque architectural style of the 17th century, with features reflecting the wealth and social status of Amsterdam's merchant class.
The buildings at numbers 366 and 368 housed the Biblical Museum from 1975 to 2019, allowing visitors to explore the interior spaces of these canal houses.
Each house contains distinct carved fruit motifs and date stones marking 1662, while the main hall features ceiling paintings depicting Mercury and mythological themes.
