Bossuhuizen, Historical architectural ensemble in Hoorn, Netherlands.

The Bossuhuizen consists of three connected houses along Slapershaven street, featuring traditional Dutch architectural elements from the 17th century.

The buildings commemorate the 1573 Battle of Zuiderzee through carved stones depicting West Frisians defeating the Spanish fleet of Admiral Bossu.

The facade stones narrate historical events through biblical imagery, portraying West Frisians as warriors of Israel fighting against the biblical commander Amalek.

The three structures are registered as national monuments under numbers 22410, 22574, and 22575, with entrances on both Grote Oost and Slapershaven streets.

One of the buildings maintained its original shop character, featuring a restored merchant sign that advertised tobacco, cigars, coffee, and tea products.
