Witte Rozenstraat 57, Leiden, Protected residential monument in Vreewijk, Leiden, Netherlands.
The Ehrenfesthuis features four plastered facades with a closed street side and three garden-facing sides decorated with classical pediments and large windows.
Russian architect Tatiana Afanassjewa designed and constructed this residence between 1913 and 1914, incorporating elements from her Saint Petersburg background.
The living room contained a chalkboard where fifteen Nobel Prize laureates, including Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, participated in scientific discussions.
The residence maintains its original Russian-style central heating system with horizontal pipes along the walls, demonstrating early 20th-century engineering methods.
Visiting scientists inscribed their signatures on a dedicated wall in the guest room, creating a record of the numerous intellectual gatherings held at this location.
