Staalhof, Guild house in central Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Staalhof stands at the intersection of Staalstraat and Groenburgwal, featuring a preserved facade designed by Pieter de Keyser in 1641.
During the 17th century, this complex functioned as the center of Amsterdam cloth industry, where fabric inspectors, known as Staalmeesters, examined textile quality.
The building gained recognition through Rembrandt's 1662 painting 'De Staalmeesters,' which depicted five cloth guild wardens in their meeting room.
The structure now houses different establishments, while Rembrandt's famous painting has moved to the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum.
The cloth hall section of the complex transformed into the Netherlands' first neo-Gothic building in 1829, becoming the English Episcopal Church.
